The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (EMP): Perspectives from the Mediterranean EU countries

CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES AND RATIONALE:
The main Conference objective is to analyze all the factors that guide the Mediterranean EU states policies towards the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (EMP). Ten years on since it was first launched, the EMP appears to be at a crossroads. Many conferences and other academic meetings have dealt with the record of the EMP. However, to date there has not been any serious and systematic academic discussion of the way Mediterranean EU states and societies perceive the EMP. What where the EMP’s objectives and have these been achieved? What about its future? Are there a common Mediterranean EU perspective and objectives on the EMP, and if not, what are the reasons for such different approaches? By Mediterranean EU states and societies, the Conference deals not only with those states’ governments but also with all actors involved (political parties, civil society, NGOs, parliaments, regional actors, etc.).
MAIN CONFERENCE TOPICS:
The Conference will concentrate on topics that deal with the problematique of the contemporary role of Mediterranean EU countries from various (inter-)disciplinary approaches and perspectives such as in those from international relations, political science, economics, sociology, etc. What follows represents an indicative, though not exclusive, list of possible topics:
The organizers intend to publish a number of selected Conference’s papers in a special edited volume, while other papers will be published in the Quarterly scientific journal of the Institute of International Economic Relations “Agora Without Frontiers” and the website after scholarly peer reviewed.
