Egypt, Morocco, Syria and their neighbours in the context of the Arab democratic revolutions: Taking stock of recent developments and regional repercussions
The Department of EU International Relations and Diplomacy Studies at the College of Europe, Bruges campus, with the financial support of the European Commission, organized a series of events dedicated to the ‘neighbours of the neighbours of the European Union’. This concept was introduced by the European Commission in the framework of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) and refers mainly to countries in Saharan Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.
The high-level conference considered recent developments in the three countries with a focus on repercussions within the region (in particular in the Middle East, including the countries of the GCC, Iran and Iraq and Saharan Africa) and at the international level. The working language of the conference was French.
Three senior speakers with extensive international experience addressed the following topics:
- Mr Alvaro de VASCONCELOS: Are the Arab democratic revolutions failing?
- Mr Salam KAWAKIBI: The Syrian conflict and its regional repercussions;
- Mr Abdallah SAAF: Morocco’s transition and the regional context.
