4th International Seminar on Security and Defence in the Mediterranean

A global view of the large debates on security in the Mediterranean, with special attention given to measures of confidence, are among some of the issues that focus the content of this monograph, which brings together the presentations given in the Seminar on Security and Defence in the Mediterranean, which has been organised by the Ministry of Defence and the CIDOB Foundation since the year 2002. In the face of the latest events which have occurred in the region – terrorism, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Iraq crisis – the contributions that are annually presented in the seminar by scholars and other professionals from European Union countries, NATO partners and the countries to the south and east of the Mediterranean, aim to give impetus to the construction of a Mediterranean space of shared security, from the area of thought.
