Contested state identities and regional security in the Euro-Mediterranean area

This book takes a close look at problems faced in negotiating the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (EMP) as a regional security project, with particular attention to case studies of Israel, Egypt and Morocco. The author argues that internal disputes over national identity limit the ability of states to participate in regional forums.
