Preface

The idea for this book emerged in the corridors of the Finnish Institute of International Affairs in Helsinki. The proposal to study the not-so-usual suspects behind the EUs Mediterranean policy sounded like a challenging project well worth undertaking. Luckily, this inspiration was shared at the time by a group of enthusiastic scholars representing a good number of the northernmost EU countries, which meant that the first stage of the journey towards the volume at hand was already underway.

The group of authors came together only once, in a single productive meeting in Brussels in May 2012. After the meeting, we parted ways, but the two editors steered the process with a FinnishGerman assertiveness towards an end-product where the chapters would be structured in such a way as to make a coherent whole. At an appropriate moment, cooperation with the publisher began, to which end Ashgate has proved a reliable partner, swift in its decisions and actions throughout.
