Abstract

A division of the Mediterranean between an “advanced” Northern and a “less developed” Southern littoral was already evident since the 19th century, but the Cold War came to deepen and formalize it. The countries of the Northern coast (except Yugoslavia) became members of the West, in a process which was completed with the Southern enlargement of the Community; the states of the Southern coast joined the Third World. This article discusses the conceptualizations of NATO regarding the Mediterranean, from the arrival of a Soviet naval squadron in the region until the Lebanon war. The experts focused mostly on the impact of the Cold War and on the Soviet presence, while important regional developments falling outside the Cold War context were not always fully appreciated. Still, the NATO analysis papers offer an interesting picture of Western perceptions of developments south of the “area”, including the impact of nationalism, the Arab-Israeli dispute, and Islamic revivalism.
