About
Mission
There are many stakes in the Arab and Mediterranean region that directly affect Switzerland and Europe. The economic development disparities between the two shores of the Mediterranean, with the resulting social difficulties, the migrations, the arms proliferation and dealing, the open conflicts in the region, the growing of extremist movements, are few examples of the problems that we are facing today. Therefore European stability is intimately (closely) linked to the stability of the Mediterranean area. Now that the Cold war is over, the Euro-Mediterranean space is rebuilding itself and new actors, new powers, new balances of power appear.
