The Italian OSCE Chairmanship of 2018 aims to promote a stronger focus within the OSCE on challenges and opportunities emanating from the Mediterranean region. While the connectivity of European security with the Mediterranean area was already underscored in the 1975 Helsinki Final Act, the Mediterranean dimension has historically always been a “neglected stepchild” of the CSCE/OSCE. Italy is well placed to revitalize the OSCE’s Mediterranean Partnership, notably by using the OSCE’s convening power to exchange best practices on how to deal with shared challenges, such as irregular migration and jihadi radicalization.
