Report of the Conference "Is Regional Cooperation in the Maghreb Possible? Implications for the Region and External Actors"

Sessions were designed to provoke discussion on the general theme of the political-economic and geostrategic challenges posed by underdeveloped south-south ties – the “costs of a non-Magreb” – and policy implications for regional and extra-regional actors. The meeting also explored possible lessons from other regions where historic impediments to cooperation and integration have been overcome.
