This volume provides insights into the principal challenges facing the Euro-Mediterranean partnership since the signing of the Barcelona Declaration in November 1995. It assesses past European policies towards the region, addresses questions of Mediterranean complexity, and accounts for the politics of order-building and regime-formation in the emerging Euro-Mediterranean system. The title is divided into three parts, each reflecting a particular concern with the structure and dynamics of order-building in the emerging Euro-Mediterranean space. Part one accounts for the realities of the post-1998 international order and assesses the nature of Mediterranean complexity. Part two focuses on European policies towards the Mediterranean before and after the launch of the Barcelona Process, and the extent to which the latter represents a break with the past. Part three justifies the centrality of theory towards the development of a more profound understanding of complex social and political phenomena and conceptualises the emerging Euro-Mediterranean system through the intersection of regime theory and international governance.
