Embeddedness and/or Periphery: The MENA Region in the Global Order

It identifies the driving forces behind it, sheds light on bottom-up dynamics and assesses the implications of these processes for the EU and its policies towards the region. This policy brief focuses on the global dynamics defining the relationship between the global order and the MENA region.
