The Euro-Med Partnership and Sub Regionalism: A Case of Region Building?

Stephen C. Calleya

Institute of European Studies, Working Paper Series from Institute of European Studies, UC Berkeley

Abstract: Stephen Calleya focuses on sub-regionalism as a tool of region building within the EMP. This paper’s main concern is the question of whether, in view of the present EMP difficulties, subdividing the southern Mediterranean into various sub-regions (such as the Maghreb and the Mashreq) may be an efficient tool of region building. By taking account of regional relations among southern Mediterranean states and sub-regional initiatives, Calleya discusses several options and conditions under which sub-regionalism within the EMP could contribute to Euro-Mediterranean region building. Calleya argues that if the EU is serious about having a significant positive impact on regional integration in the Mediterranean in the short term, it is necessary to develop an adequate strategy for supporting more directly all regional sub-groupings in the southern Mediterranean.
