Civil-military Interaction in the Mediterranean Area Member States of the European Union

Part 2.

Abstract

As part of a broader study of the European Union’s 28 Member States, this publication focuses on the Mediterranean group and South European countries of the European Union. I study the Iberian Peninsula: Spain, Portugal and France; but according to the broader sense of the notion, the Appennine Peninsula (Italy) is also part of the study. Furthermore, due to their geographical involvement, Malta, Greece, Cyprus and Bulgaria are also included in this group. Inter alia, country analyses examine the Member States’relationship with the European Union’s foreign, security and defence policy; the CIMIC orientation of the given Member State; the institutional system of CIMIC in the country; its participation in the EU-led military operations (including CIMIC relations); and the examination also covers the CIMIC training and education system.
