About this book
This book examines the strategies pursued by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union (EU) to foster resilience in the Middle East, Maghreb and Sahel regions, ranging from military operations to humanitarian assistance. Thanks to its constructive ambiguity, resilience can bring together policy communities and connect sponsors of reform with local societies, but also bridge rifts between and within the EU and NATO. However, existing resilience-based policies are fraught with policy, theoretical and normative dilemmas. This volume examines these dilemmas by including international relations, European politics and area studies scholars, as well as practitioners from armed forces, international organisations, humanitarian NGOs and think tanks.

Reviews
“The previous volume sponsored by the Civil-Military Cooperation Centre of Excellence (CCOE) mainly focused on hybrid threats at NATO's Eastern flank. This new book offers an insightful analysis of resilience-building initiatives at the Southern end of the Mediterranean basin, an equally topical subject with key implications for European security.” (Colonel Wolfgang Paulik, Director, NATO Centre of Excellence on Civil-Military Cooperation)
“A must-read for anybody interested in the Middle East, Maghreb and Sahel. Thanks to its in-depth strategic assessments, this book will help you navigate the complexity of these regions and better understand where and how the EU and NATO can prompt and sustain positive change” (Florence Gaub, Deputy Director, European Union Institute for Security Studies)
