Director General, IEMed. The European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed) has been entrusted by the European Com- mission to conduct, for the period 2009-2012, a yearly Survey of actors and experts on Euro- pean-Mediterranean relations. This activity is part of the programme “Promoting mutual aware- ness, understanding and cooperation between the EU and the European Neighbourhood Region (South)”, co-funded by the European Union through the European Neighbourhood and Partner- ship Instrument (ENPI) regional track. This project is fully in line with the IEMed’s mission as a think tank devoted to the analysis of and proactive thinking about Euro-Mediterranean relations. This ambitious Survey has three main objectives: Assessing the progress, achievements and shortcomings of the various dimensions of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, encompassing both the European Neighbourhood Policy and the Union for the Mediterranean; Developing an instrument for critical reflection able to mobilize experts and policy-makers operating in the design of Euromed policies; Identifying the main challenges and future issues at stake in the Mediterranean so as to be able to make appropriate policy recommendations. Building on the experience gained from the two previous years, this third Survey opted for a shorter and more focused questionnaire, which dealt mainly with the aftermath of the Arab Spring, given the high relevance of the topic, and with the Political and Security basket of the Partnership, for its obvious links with the events that have occurred in the southern shore. The fieldwork of the present Survey was conducted between December 2011 and January 2012, coinciding with the first anniversary of the outbreak of the Arab uprisings, at a time when politi- cal transitions in the region were under way and a new mapping of actors and regional power balances was still being shaped. A total of 695 experts, policy-makers and representatives of civil society from the 43 member countries of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) have partici- pated in this year’s Survey, which represents a 16% increase compared to the last one. This report summarises and discusses the results of this third Survey, bearing in mind that it is not a mere public opinion poll, but an attempt to identify and critically assess the major successes and shortcomings, as well as the potential, of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (EMP) from the point of view of experts and actors directly involved in the process. As regards the structure, the report is divided into two main parts: a descriptive analysis of the quantitative data and a qualitative section meant to interpret and shed light on the results ob- tained. For the preparation of the qualitative section, which consists of twelve articles in total, 16 experts from different Mediterranean countries were contacted by the IEMed. They were briefed to analyse the results of the 2011 Survey in their contributions in the light of the Arab uprisings and the state of play in the Arab countries, while also taking into account the latest developments in the Euro-Mediterranean institutional architecture. EuroMed SurVEY 9 SenÉN florensa. President of the Executive Committee, IEMed. The first Survey was marked by the setting up of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) as an attempt to revitalise and revamp the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (EMP) fifteen years after the launch of the Barcelona Process. While building on the monitoring exercise of the state of play of the Partnership started in the 2009 Survey, the second Survey also included a section devoted to taking stock of the progress made towards

    Turkey and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership Boosting the Model Partnership with the United States Kemal Kiriş ci turkey project policy paper Number 2 • September 2013 policy paper Number 2, September 2013 About CUSE The Center on the United States and Europe (CUSE) at Brookings fosters high-level U.S.-European dia- logue on the changes in Europe and the global challenges that affect transatlantic relations. As an integral part of the Foreign Policy Program, the Center offers independent research and recommendations for U.S. and European officials and policymakers, and it convenes seminars and public forums on policy-relevant issues. CUSE’s research program focuses on the transformation of the European Union; strategies for en- gaging the countries and regions beyond the frontiers of the EU including the Balkans, Caucasus, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine; and broader European security issues such as the future of NATO and forging com- mon strategies on energy security. The Center also houses specific programs on France, Italy and Turkey. About the Turkey Project Given Turkey’s geopolitical, historical and cultural significance, and the high stakes posed by the foreign policy and domestic issues it faces, Brookings launched the Turkey Project in 2004 to foster informed public consideration, high‐level private debate, and policy recommendations focusing on developments in Turkey. In this context, Brookings has collaborated with the Turkish Industry and Business Association (TÜSİAD) to institute a U.S.-Turkey Forum at Brookings. The Forum organizes events in the form of conferences, sem- inars and workshops to discuss topics of relevance to U.S.-Turkish and transatlantic relations.

  • The Security Dimension 27 September 2004, EU Institute For
    Antonio MISSIROLI/Walter POSCH Turkey and/in the EU: The Security Dimension 27 September 2004, EU Institute for Security Studies, Paris The Conference was organised with the explicit intention of plugging in the broader European debate - in the run-up to the reports to be delivered by the Commission on 6 October and with a view to the European Council decision on 17 December – but also of evaluating the potential implications of Turkish membership (or non-membership) for the Union’s security policy. Several Turkish officials and experts were invited to attend and give papers in order to engage in a common assessment of bilateral relations – present and future. I. Overview. After a cursory review of the main arguments (for and against) raised in the current debate over Turkey’s future EU membership, the Conference started with a broad overview of the current state of affairs. First of all, the fact that Ankara’s bid is generating ‘existential problems’ among EU members - it was said - should not be seen by Turkey as a delaying device: it has happened with each and every enlargement, although Turkey is definitely a very special candidate in its own right. Moreover, it is not because of their foreign policy that candidates are (or are not) taken in, although Turkey has a record of alignment with the CFSP acquis that is not as good as that of other candidates. Ankara’s deficit, in this respect, concerns mainly those EU positions that are seen as touching its regional interests; also, it has sometimes refrained from giving relevant information as requested by the Commission in the process.
