Reviews

“Transnational Security Cooperation in the Mediterranean calls on states and the EU to transcend short-term securitized approaches to relations between the southern and northern sides of the Mediterranean. Contributors to the volume provide a series of up-to-date analyses of the wide range of issues and actors affecting security cooperation in the wider region. Provides important lessons for the EU in the post-Codvid-19 pandemic era.”

“Robert Mason’s ebook helps us to understand better one of the most complex – and dangerous – security environments in the world today. In what has become a swarming European ‘ neighborhood’, with China, Russia, Turkey, and the Gulf countries flexing their muscles as never before, the Middle East and North Africa are struggling with all types of threats to their stability and development. Mason contributes a well-informed analysis of those threats and provides some valuable suggestions for the EU on how best to help deal with them.” —  James Moran, former EU Ambassador to Jordan, Libya, Yemen, and Egypt.
