Abstract
The Mediterranean region has known a privileged position throughout
history, and it is considered as the most affected area by conflicts and
international wars. It has been also influenced by the changes that
characterised the world in post-cold war, when the security issue imposed itself
on the Mediterranean as a real fact during this period.
The changes that affected the world after the cold war, including the
evolution of the concept of security that overtakes the traditional definition,
which has been based on the military aspect only to larger one that includes all
aspects: political, economic and social. These changes have made of the
Mediterranean area as a main bet to the problem of security for the most
important actors in this region which is “NATO”, which realized that the
Mediterranean region will be a scene of insecurity increase, for this reason, the
NATO confirmed about the importance of the Mediterranean in its new
strategic concept in 1991.
The NATO new strategy has specified a list of threats faced by the NATO,
it consists mainly of: disputes and regional conflicts, illegal immigration, the
spread of mass destructive weapons and terrorism phenomenon. After the
events of September 11th
, 2001, the terrorism phenomenon occupies a large
part in NATO strategy in the Mediterranean. After these events, the NATO has
been entrusted to defend and fight against the terrorism threat in the
Mediterranean by making a strategy based on two directions:
Military direction: includes the “Active Endeavour Operation (AEO)” by
NATO’s cooperation with the Mediterranean countries to monitor and
eradicate terrorism activities in this region.
Political direction: based mainly on activating and emphasising the
Mediterranean dialogue initiative, and raising it to a real partnership
including all Mediterranean countries, and even the Gulf States, by
convincing them to adhere in the cooperation pathway to promote
building confidence. The NATO confirms also in its summits the
importance of the cooperation and the partnership with the
Mediterranean partners in security issues.
The NATO strategy to fight terrorism in the Mediterranean faces many
bets and challenges, and perhaps the greatest one, is the problem of defining
and determining terrorism, and in addition to the security problems that this
region has known such as the various disputes and conflicts which consists on
obstacle to the NATO new strategy which seeks to protect the Mediterranean
security.
