"NATO's Mediterranean Initiative is acquiring new significance with changes in the strategic environment and changes in NATO itself. Greater attention is being devoted to developments on the southern periphery of the Alliance. Members of the NATO Dialogue will have a shared stake in addressing new security challenges, many of which are transregional and require cooperative strategies in response. A longer-term vision is essential to further development. Policy recommendations include reinforcement of the nongovernmental dimensions of the Dialogue, establishment of a region-specific agenda that can include defense training and exercises, and increasing resources devoted to the Initiative commensurate with the region's growing importance. Individual Dialogue members should be free to engage, at their own pace, in more ambitious cooperation with NATO." .

"In 1994, NATO launched a Mediterranean Initiative aimed at engaging selected nonmember states across the Mediterranean in dialogue on security issues, broadly defined. Since that time, the Initiative has expanded to include six Dialogue countries and has played an important role in raising the level of attention to the Mediterranean in the Alliance as a whole. It continues to serve as a vehicle for promoting positive relations to NATO's south at a time of important evolution in Alliance strategy and activities. In 1997, RAND undertook a major analysis of the Mediterranean Initiative. Results and recommendations were presented to NATO and Dialogue-country audiences in a RAND report, and briefed at a conference in Rome sponsored by the Italian Ministry of Defense."@en . . .
