Europe And the Arab States

This book identifies the key drivers of EU external relations policy towards the Arab states in the Mediterranean region, and assesses the EUs scope to implement a coherent and coordinated policy towards the Arab states in what is a highly disparate political and economic region. The author evaluates whether the EU can create an enduring partnership with the Arab States and determines whether EuroMed can serve as a crucible for EU politico-economic engagement with the Islamic world.
