Professor Tsakonas from the University of the Aegean will present an overall illustration of the current --and potential-- threats, risks and challenges to the Mediterranean region’s stability. Particular emphasis will be placed on the role(s) of the European Union and NATO in both long-standing and new inter-state conflicts in the Eastern Mediterranean. What, if any, is the impact that NATO and the EU have had –and may have—on conflict resolution in this region?
