Book Description
This is the first comprehensive analysis of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM), launched in 2008 amid great controversy within the European Union. Affected from the start by negative fallout from the failure of Middle East peace initiatives, its inadequacies have been underlined by the popular movement for regime change in the Arab world. Leading experts provide here the first integrated analysis of the significance and shortcomings of the UfM. Beginning with critical questioning of the motives and institutional logics informing this venture, the collection proceeds to analyse its key actors, as well as major policy dossiers such as energy and development. The book explains how and why an initiative aiming to depoliticize Euro-Mediterranean relations in fact proved wide open to political discord, bringing huge disruption to UfM activity. While some aspects are found to have merit, the volume is critical of the way in which EU Mediterranean policy became driven by a narrow range of national interests, lost sight of the political objectives of the preceding Barcelona Process and became overwhelmingly bilateral in approach, at the expense of more ambitious region-building efforts. It concludes by highlighting the need to reform the EU Mediterranean policy framework in the light of the Arab uprisings of 2011. This book was published as a special issue of Mediterranean Politics.

Book Description
The Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) has had a troubled infancy. French ideas for enhanced Euro-Mediterranean co-operation, influenced by functionalism, actually brought increased disputation among the partners during its first two years. There has been deep disagreement over whether European Union (EU) Mediterranean policy should be based on common positions or accommodate French leadership ambitions. Adverse external conditions have affected the prospects of the infant UfM, but so too have intra-EU differences and problematical institutional structures.

Book Description
The Arab uprisings have changed the domestic and the regional context of the Southern Mediterranean. The EU's response to the new geopolitical landscape has been rapid and substantial at the bilateral level, through its revision of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP). Yet reforming the multilateral framework of its relations with the southern partners remains a real challenge. A workshop held under the auspices of European Parliament President Martin Schulz considered the most effective ways of reinvigorating the Union for the Mediterranean (UFM). The following papers represent the contributions of three scholars who participated in the workshop. Timo Behr presented four options before he argued in favour of a more pragmatic approach. Given regional uncertainties and mounting challenges, the UFM is likely to take small steps ahead, but little effort will be made to develop a broader vision for its development. Richard Youngs argued that the EU must work more closely to understand Arabs' demands and interests and argued for a simultaneous 'multilateralisation' of the ENP and launch of joint initiatives with Middle Eastern regional powers and international actors. Jean-Yves Moisseron called for a paradigm change. As the 'Mediterranean narrative' has failed to mobilise the southern partner, a new approach to multilateral relations is needed, based on a genuine cultural dialogue and a full association of democratically elected parliaments and civil societies from the southern Mediterranean -- EU Bookshop.
