Euro-Atlantic Integrations and the Mediterranean

Lidija Čehulić ; Faculty of Political Science, University of Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

The recent large enlargement of the NATO and the EU has intensified the interest of euro-Atlantic allies in the Mediterranean region. NATO and the EU are expanding their range, their capabilities and the measures used for fighting the new security and stability challenges, securing latent crisis areas and focusing on the economic recovery of the countries from that region. The latest events show that without an appreciation for the historical and cultural heritage, national interests and the actual situation within the Mediterranean countries, NATO and the EU cannot reach adequate solutions for long term stability of this turbulent area on their own.
