Professor Jean-Pierre CASSARINO, Senior Research Fellow at the European Neighbourhood Policy Chair, published an article in the online journal Revista IDEES n. 51.
His article, entitled Behind the Governance of Migration in the Euro-Mediterranean Area highlights two major aspects. First, far from adopting passively the guidelines and rules transferred from the West, South Mediterranean countries adaptively and selectively transposed them to buttress their own position domestically and internationally.
Second, never before has the growing interconnectedness between the EU and its member states, on the one hand, and South Mediterranean countries, on the other, been embedded in systems of reciprocal conditionalities blurring the dividing line between so-called socializers in IR studies and socializees.
