Mediterranean Security and Co-Operation: Interest and Role of Italy and Libya
March 2002
Abstract
This paper looks at the international relations across the Mediterranean Sea, between the European countries - in particular, the European Union-EU - and the countries of the Near East and North Africa. In this framework, it tries to define the role of Italy and Libya and the joint actions they can carry out to foster peace and co-operation in the area concerned.
The paper inquiries, first, into the directions of Italy’s and Libya’s foreign policies and the rationale of their role in the regions concerned; then, into the political and functional areas in which they can co-operate.
