The Future of Mediterranean Europe Takes Centre Stage at the Mediterranean Strategy Group in Lisbon March 27, 2013 / Lisbon, Portugal

On February 25-27, 2013, the German Marshall Fund of the United States organized the seventh meeting of the Mediterranean Strategy Group. This meeting was held in Lisbon, and focused on the theme “The Future of Mediterranean Europe: Between the Euro Crisis and Arab Revolutions.”
The meeting was organized in cooperation with the Luso-American Foundation (FLAD) and the Italian Institute of International Affairs (IAI), and in partnership with the Compagnia di San Paolo, Noble Energy, OCP Foundation, and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. The group of fifty participants included select economists, journalists, government officials, and academics from the United States, the European Union, and the Gulf and MENA regions.
The discussion, held under the Chatham House Rule, centered on five main topics: the impacts of the European Crisis; the revolutions in the MENA region; Southern Europe’s role in the Mediterranean; U.S. strategy towards Southern Europe; and the opportunities that these crises present for societal change in the reinvention of Southern Europe.
