Résumé : | Europe has vital interests in the southern Mediterranean region, such as stability or access to its markets and energy sources. The southern and eastern Mediterranean countries also have unavoidable interests in the European Union (EU): it not only represents the main trade partner, one of the main investors in the region and a major donor of funds to cooperation but is also the residence of almost eight million citizens from the southern Mediterranean. Moreover, it is the object of desire for tens of thousands of students from the southern countries that every year enrol in European universities. Despite this incredible interdependence, the relations between the EU and the southern and eastern Mediterranean countries are extremely asymmetrical and vertical, in an increasingly changing and unpredictable regional framework. In order to face these challenges, the EU has instruments and policies to strengthen cooperation with countries in the Mediterranean region. These cooperation instruments have finally prioritised the bilateral dimension to the detriment of multilateral dialogue, and have therefore diluted the Mediterranean as a regional subject in the world while gradually replacing cooperation instruments that mainly pursued human development in the region in the medium and long term with others that try to manage contingent crises in the short term. |
