Edited by PODEM Executive Director Aybars Görgülü and PODEM Project Officer Gülşah Dark, the book “The Remaking of Euro-Mediterranean Vision” takes as its departure point the recent geopolitical developments in the Middle East and North Africa, urging the renewal of a Euro-Mediterranean partnership while challenging the ‘Eurocentric orientation of EU policies’ – a critical factor which explains why the EU has been unable to adjust its policies to the region’s fast-changing complexities.
The volume subsequently introduces the findings of an extensive elite survey conducted between 2017–2018 with local stakeholders in 9 countries [i.e. Tunisia, Iran, S. Arabia, Turkey, Morocco, Qatar, Lebanon, Egypt and Israel] in the Mediterranean by PODEM researchers in collaboration with the MEDRESET member The Arab Studies Institute – Research and Education Methodologies (ASI-REM). The findings and policy recommendations presented in the book aim to contribute to making EU policies more responsive to major challenges in the region, more flexible on the multilateral and the bilateral level and more inclusive of key stakeholders.
