This monograph brings together the lectures, interventions and reports presented in the Fourth Seminar on Security and Defense in the Mediterranean, held in Barcelona in 2005. In view of the different events that have occurred in the Mediterranean or its immediate surroundings, such as terrorism, the Arab-Israeli conflict and the Iraq crisis, a deep reflection on the construction of a Mediterranean space of shared security is necessitated. The contributions to this monograph discuss measures of confidence building in the region, but also give an overview of the general debate on security in the Mediterranean region.
