title = {Divergence in the Mediterranean.The Economic Relations Between the EC and the Arab Countries in the Long 1980s},
year = {2015},
note = {The article focuses on the changes in the economic relations between
the European Communities and the Arab world from the 1970s to the
1980s. The decline of oil prices in 1986 impacted heavily on the
development of the Arab world and its partnership with the EC. On the
one hand, the Communities could restore their pre-1970s, traditional
economic predominance vis-à-vis their Arab partners, now framed along
the new neoliberal doctrine promoted by the World Bank and the
International Monetary Fund. On the other hand, the Mediterranean
basin lost the political and economic relevance it had enjoyed
previously, and was thus relegated to the marginality of
“security” concerns.},
