    Pour un bon usage de l'Union pour la Mediteranée
    in Politique internationale , n. 121, automne ,  2008
    Several months after the Paris summit of July 13 that marked the beginning of a Mediterranean Union, what is the state of this ambitious project? Was the idea, launched during the French presidential campaign, merely an electoral gambit? Or is it a coherent, consistent plan, designed to revive a ten-year-old European-Mediterranean partnership, constantly patched together with a string of additions and corrections until it broke down? What, concretely, does this project amount to, following several months of exchanges, negotiations, compromises and adjustments? And why did Nicolas Sarkozy make it one of the two key planks of his foreign policy? Is it a mere presidential desire to write his chapter of history, as did the founding fathers of the European Union, or is there some hidden strategic agenda of a quite different nature? Gérard Claude explores the underside of this vastly ambitious project. http://www.politiqueinternationale.com/revue/article.php?id_revue=121&id=757&content=synopsis
