5th International Seminar on Security and Defence in the Mediterranean

A collection of addresses, interventions and reports presented at the 5th International Seminar on Security and Defence in the Mediterranean, held in Barcelona on 4 December 2006. The work serves as a summary of the progress made by different cooperation initiatives (the Barcelona Process, the European Neighbourhood Policy, 5+5, NATO's Mediterranean Dialogue and the ESDP) and analyses a number of practical cases such as Moroccan participation in Bosnia and some of the ESDP missions in the Near East. The volume also tackles challenges that are of key importance for security in the Mediterranean, such as energy issues, the control of migration flows, compatibility between promotion of governance and security in the Mediterranean, and weapons of mass destruction.
