They are adhering less and less to the Mediterranean Diet, despite the fact that it is the basis of their identity and one of the major assets of the region. Pressures on natural resources and the emergence of new private actors are compounding the complexity of diet-related issues. THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET > Already the subject of widespread sociocultural and scientific debate and research, the Mediterranean Diet merits reconsideration from the political point of view FOR SUSTAINABLE REGIONAL given the growing awareness of the strategic dimension of agriculture and the crucial role played by food production in the stability and development of societies. DEVELOPMENT This diet, whose health-promoting virtues are widely recognised and which UNESCO has now listed as part of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity, is now raising questions in the fields of environmental responsibility and political action to promote greater regional cooperation. Cie© & This report has been produced under the direction of the International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies (CIHEAM), which is an intergovernmental organisation for training, research and cooperation in the fields of agriculture, food and sustainable rural development in the Mediterranean region.

Abstract Unexpected outbreaks of civil conflict may either strengthen or weaken the like- lihood of an incumbent remaining in office. In the absence of an actual turnover in office, or immediate public opinion surveys, scholars of conflict are at a loss to tell whether such episodes of conflict strengthen or weaken an incumbent's hold on power. In this paper, I address this question with a novel approach: studying the stock market performances of the firms inside and outside of the incumbent's network to infer the effect of an exogenous conflict episode on the incumbent's survival probability. I hypothesize that the abnormal returns of firms connected with the incumbent provide valuable information about the incumbent's hold on power: positive abnormal returns indicate stronger incumbent power, while neg- ative abnormal returns indicate weaker incumbent power.
