The Mediterranean in the National Security Strategy 2013

Abstract

The National Security Strategy 2013 considers the Mediterranean region as a priority area, but the approaches contained in the document are largely poor and don't take into account important changes that took place in recent years in the Mediterranean and its broader security space. The article explains first these changes and later describes the principal innovations that should be introduced to avoid the simplifications and omissions included in the Mediterranean section of the National Security Strategy 2013.
