The Future of NATO's Mediterranean Initiative: Evolution and Next Steps

Abstract

In 1994, NATO launched a Mediterranean Initiative aimed at engaging selected nonmember states across the Mediterranean in dialogue on security issues, broadly defined. Since that time, the Initiative has expanded to include six Dialogue countries and has played an important role in raising the level of attention to the Mediterranean in the Alliance as a whole. It continues to serve as a vehicle for promoting positive relations to NATO's south at a time of important evolution in Alliance strategy and activities. In 1997, RAND undertook a major analysis of the Mediterranean Initiative. Results and recommendations were presented to NATO and Dialogue-country audiences in a RAND report, and briefed at a conference in Rome sponsored by the Italian Ministry of Defense.
