Euro-Mediterranean Partnership for the Twenty-First Century [Hardcover]

Security experts from North Africa, Europe and the US explore confidence-building measures in the CSCE/OSCE for the Mediterranean. They review the Northern debate and Southern perceptions of four dialogues (OSCE, NATO, WEU, EU). Case-studies on Bosnia-Hercegovina and Cyprus discuss confidence-building measures for conflict resolution. The book offers proposals for conflict prevention, short- and long-term partnership-building measures and a code of conduct and prospects for CBMs and PBMs in Euro-Mediterranean relations for the twenty-first century.List of Tables List of Figures List of Abbreviations Notes on the Editors Notes on the Contributors Preface and Acknowledgements PART I: THE CBM CONCEPT REVISITED: WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THE CSCE/OSCE EXPERIENCE FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN REGION?
