This study outlines the results of a survey on conflict prevention in the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (EMP). The survey was undertaken on the basis of the “Maastricht Watch” rationale and was based on a panel of twenty experts, all of whom were from the pre-enlarged EU and the Arab southern Mediterranean.

The study considers the issues of EU conflict prevention policy, EMP’s southern partners’ perceptions and policies of conflict prevention, as well as the possible development of a joint conflict prevention approach and policy within the EMP.
