Euro-Mediterranean co-operation

Abstract

This Discussion Paper contains interventions and statements made during the conference “Euro-Mediterranean partnership: Beyond the Iraq crisis” organised by the Center for European Integration Studies (ZEI) on October 14 and 15, 2003 in Bonn. This IV. Mediterranean Forum was part of a larger project of cooperation dealing with the future of Euro-Mediterranean relations organized by ZEI and the Konrad-Adenauer-Foundation in cooperation with the Euro-Mediterranean Study Commission EuroMesco. The intention of both institutions is to intensify the dialogue between academics and politicians from both sides of the Mediterranean in order to create some form of collective identity which – in the long run – may help to ease existing differences and misperceptions.
