Between Europe and the Mediterranean The Challenges and the Fears

Historians, anthropologists, political scientists and demographers explore the principal challenges and fears characterizing relations between Europe and the Mediterranean. Topics covered include the challenges posed by European demographic trends, and migration; current European policies towards migration; popular attitudes towards Islam; relationships between Europe and Turkey and the Maghreb; and the disappointments of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership. The contributors suggest that the greatest challenge facing our political generation is no longer to make a Europe without the Mediterranean, but with it.
