The Arab upheaval¬†and the world’s biggest financial crisis after the Great Depression were almost simultaneous in their occurrence. The Mediterranean economies¬†now face a dual challenge of a political and financial restructuring in the light of a shaky¬†economic pedestal on which they stand. In light of this¬†socio-political and economic¬†shift in¬†both¬†inland and in¬†world markets, this book offers a thorough analysis on problems, prospects and the way ahead for the financial integration of the South-Mediterranean region. Several perspectives on financial integration and policy recommendations¬†are put forward¬†from a leading group of researchers specializing on the Mediterranean region.
