Rediscovering the Mediterranean: A Transatlantic Perspective on Security and Strategy May 01, 2008 / Ian Lesser
The American presence in the Mediterranean is longstanding, but despite 200 years of engagement in the region, the American perspective on the Mediterranean remains distinctive and diffused. The European Union and key European partners have Mediterranean strategies in place, and the French-led initiative for a Mediterranean Union points to new dynamism in Europe's policy looking south.
