In view of the so-far unsuccessful attempts to establish region-wide mechanisms of multilateral cooperation in the Euro-Mediterranean area, this book enquires whether more differentiated forms of cooperation can trigger positive dynamics of convergence, or on the contrary, more fragmentation in a region already affected by deep political, economic and social divisions. The contributors to this collection assess this policy-relevant question through careful theoretical reflection and in-depth case studies in a number of policy domains.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Mediterranean Politics.
