The Economic Development Process in the Middle East and North Africa
This book could be the perfect companion to a course in political economy when applied to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). As such, it not only focuses on pure economic questions but also i
Euro-Mediterranean relations after the Arab Spring: Persistence in times of change Jakob Horst
Exploring the ‘Pros’ and ‘Cons’ of Swiss and Norwegian Models of Relations with the European Union: What Can Israel Learn from the Experiences of These Two Countries
A theoretical appraisal of the Swiss and Norwegian models of relations with the European Union (EU), as well as an empirical assessment of experience accumulated, shows that the European Economic Area (EEA) model is quite constraining. Both models have semi-colonial features. In the EEA model, the non-EU member has a little more influence on decision-making but is less independent of the EU than with the Swiss approach. The latter is time-consumi…

Can the EU Anchor Policy Reform in Third Countries: An Analysis of the Euro-Med Partnership
The emerging literature on ‘anchoring’ draws attention to non-conventional benefits of regional integration arrangements, which include increased policy credibility. Nevertheless, this literature tends to view the anchoring of policy reform as an exogenously given option for a reforming country. We demonstrate that anchoring is an endogenously determined choice, which may guarantee neither optimal levels of policy reform nor effective anchoring u…

Free trade and the Mediterranean
The lack of industrial diversification of the Mediterranean non‐EU countries is a real obstacle to the development of the Euro‐Mediterranean free trade area. However, there are some opportunities to increase horizontal trade between these Mediterranean non‐member countries (MNMCs), both in the Maghreb and in the Middle East countries. The potential could be exploited by making use of comparative advantages in the agricultural and agribusiness sec…
Spain's input in shaping the EU's Mediterranean policies, 1986–96
The European Union's policies towards Mediterranean non‐member countries in the past decade have rapidly evolved from being based on unilateral trade preferences in favour of these countries to focusing on financial aid, reciprocity, and non‐economic items (political dialogue, cultural cooperation and so on). Spain is the UE member which has contributed most to this evolution, and it has much to gain from it. However, other policies, such as the …

The economic impact of the Euro‐Mediterranean free trade area on Mediterranean non‐member countries
The new Euro‐Mediterranean Partnership will deepen the asymmetric trade interdependence between the EU and Mediterranean Non‐Member Countries. An even larger share of the latter's imports will originate in the EU displacing not only inefficient local producers (quite likely in the case of Morocco and Tunisia) but also non‐EU foreign suppliers (more likely in the case of Jordan or Egypt). This may have a negative effect on the income side of the M…

Potential Trade between Egypt and Israel
Trade is the most common mode of international economic transactions. Establishment of trade relations between recent belligerents raises numerous political and economic questions, as was shown in the previous chapters. The present chapter seeks to tackle a seemingly technical problem — developing a methodology for predicting the volume and, more important, the composition of trade between recent belligerents, that is, neighbouring countries whic…
