Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mediterranean Basin: Its Political Economy and Changing International Relations examines the political economy and changing international relations of the Mediterranean Basin. Emphasis is on the increasing “Europeanization of most Mediterranean countries, whereby they are moving more and more into the economic, political, and strategic orbit of Western Europe. This text is divided into three parts; the first of which discusses the effects of the southern enlargement of the European Community on the Mediterranean Basin, with particular reference to Turkey, Morocco, and Tunisia. The second part explores some key issues in the political economy of the area and shows how most Mediterranean countries are becoming increasingly locked into the Western European political economy in three areas: agriculture, labor market, and energy source (oil and gas). The third part is concerned with the involvement of the superpowers in the Mediterranean, considering the developments in the East-West naval competition in the region and how they relate to the countries of the area. The disputes between Greece and Turkey in relation to the United States are also highlighted. Each of these three parts is made up of two or three case studies that illustrate the three different kinds of Europeanization process in the Mediterranean Basin. This book will be of interest to political economists, political scientists, and policymakers in the field of international relations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mediterranean, in which maritime history began, has a significant importance in today's world order. It is important geographically, politically, economically and militarily. Beside these factors, there are in the region several contrasts and elements of tension due to different political regimes, religions and cultural heritages, economic resources and the existence of crisis situations. The region is considered a confrontation arena between the superpowers; each has tried to establish and then promote its military presence and influence there. The region's nations have tried to cooperate among themselves to lessen tension and to promote peace and security in the region. These attempts still need more effort to achieve the hoped-for results. This paper analyzes the situation in the region, focusing on its importance and elements of tension, and it examines the possibility to achieve a state of peace and security. This peace and security can be achieved through cooperative economic behavior, as a prelude to achieving political stability and peace. The participation of both superpowers and all countries in the region is an essential requirement to change the Mediterranean region to a 'peaceful lake.'

Book excerpt: From the Torch landings in North Africa in 1942 to D-Day in June 1944 the Mediterranean basin saw the largest overseas deployment of U.S. troops outside the Pacific. Moreover, the United States, in an adversarial alliance with Britain, enjoyed considerable success there: Axis forces were driven from North Africa; Mussolini was ousted and--eventually--a liberal government established in Rome, heading off potentially revolutionary upheavals; an American-equipped French army was returned to France. Other successes were less obvious, but nonetheless significant: American economic inducements helped keep Spain out of the war, and Washington, utilizing covert operations as a lever for diplomatic intervention, reached into the Balkans. Everywhere American money followed American arms, establishing networks of trade stretching from the oil-rich Middle East to the Western Basin. These economic relationships, interwoven with a permanent postwar military presence, gave Washington a commanding regional position in the early years of the Cold War. Yet for all Washington's success, American intervention in the Mediterranean has long been viewed as a mere adjunct to campaigns in France and Germany, at best a useful preparation for the main event, at worst a protracted diversion from it. This perception is rooted both in contemporary divisions--particularly those between President Roosevelt and his chiefs of staff--and in Cold War renderings of debates between American leaders and their British counterparts. This study, based on a re-examination of the processes of Allied strategic decision-making and on a reappraisal of its relationship to broader military, political, and economic developments, reasserts the importance of the Mediterranean to the development Washington's wartime grand strategy and to the realization of American hegemony in Western Europe. It also highlights the role of leadership, operating within historically determined circumstances, in shaping deep impulses towards the extension of national power. Particularly during the critical months of its inception, President Roosevelt carried the drive towards active American engagement in the Mediterranean virtually single-handedly, and in the face of fierce opposition from his military advisers. His drive, I argue, was informed not only by immediate strategic and political considerations, but also by a projection of "Americanism" that would ultimately shape the postwar capitalist world and America's hegemonic position within it.

Book excerpt: During the 1990s, the economic and strategic importance of the Mediterranean will increase as a consequence of: (1) continuing large scale transshipment of oil through the Mediterranean, (2) growing U.S. and European trade with the Soviet Union via the Mediterranean - Black sea lanes, and (3) expanding trade between European Community member states in and outside the Mediterranean area under the provisions of the new European Community's economic integration of 1992. Thus, the importance of maintaining-free and secure passage through the Mediterranean will increase through the 1990s and into the next century. Unfortunately, growing instability and military power in the region present complex challenges directly threatening broader U.S. economic and security interests. This essay argues that the year 2000 will find three situations defining U.S. economic and security interests in the Mediterranean region. These three situations are: (1) changing economic and security relationships between western Europe, the Soviet Union, and the U.S., (2) growing economic crisis in the developing countries along the Mediterranean, and (3) continuing regional security problems and emerging new regional powers. A review of these three situations and related security issues precedes the presentation of a regional security strategy for the 1990s that focuses on achieving strategic stability in the region. If implemented, this strategy offers stabilizing influences in the Mediterranean and supports the broader U.S. economic and security interests expected to emerge by the year 2000.

Book excerpt: From one of the most admired admirals of his generation—and the only admiral to serve as Supreme Allied Commander at NATO—comes a remarkable voyage through all of the world’s most important bodies of water, providing the story of naval power as a driver of human history and a crucial element in our current geopolitical path. From the time of the Greeks and the Persians clashing in the Mediterranean, sea power has determined world power. To an extent that is often underappreciated, it still does. No one understands this better than Admiral Jim Stavridis. In Sea Power, Admiral Stavridis takes us with him on a tour of the world’s oceans from the admiral’s chair, showing us how the geography of the oceans has shaped the destiny of nations, and how naval power has in a real sense made the world we live in today, and will shape the world we live in tomorrow. Not least, Sea Power is marvelous naval history, giving us fresh insight into great naval engagements from the battles of Salamis and Lepanto through to Trafalgar, the Battle of the Atlantic, and submarine conflicts of the Cold War. It is also a keen-eyed reckoning with the likely sites of our next major naval conflicts, particularly the Arctic Ocean, Eastern Mediterranean, and the South China Sea. Finally, Sea Power steps back to take a holistic view of the plagues to our oceans that are best seen that way, from piracy to pollution. When most of us look at a globe, we focus on the shape of the of the seven continents. Admiral Stavridis sees the shapes of the seven seas. After reading Sea Power, you will too. Not since Alfred Thayer Mahan’s legendary The Influence of Sea Power upon History have we had such a powerful reckoning with this vital subject.
