Borderlands: Europe and the Mediterranean Middle East

Drawing on rich empirical evidence from different policy fields, this book offers a reappraisal of the complex relationship between Europe and the Mediterranean Middle East and North Africa (MENA). While advancing a novel approach to the study of these relations, it revisit the motivation underlying European policies towards MENA, the modalities and impact of these policies, and the response of MENA states. By highlighting the centrality of the concept of ‘borderlands’ for studying Europe-Middle East relations, the author aims to connect the study of these relations to broader debates on power and interdependence within the discipline of International Relations.
