EU and the Mediterranean region: a future dilemma?
1997

There is a strong tendency in current policy towards the construction of supra-national institutions such as the Euro-Mediterranean Free Trade Area, due to be established by 2010. At the same time there is evidence to suggest that economic disparities affecting the Euro-Mediterranean space -and corresponding differences in techno-economic systems- may jeopardise the implementation of these processes and widen existing gaps. These prospects imply that current socio-economic profiles, including demographic and migration gradients, of entities - EU Member States as well as Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Countries - which are involved in the process will be radically affected. In this light the role of technology and its prospects for reducing economic disparities could play a central role in forthcoming policies in the Euro-Mediterranean context.
