From migration to energy and food security, the Mediterranean connects Europe, Africa and the Middle East and, as such, is simultaneously an area of stability and tension. The deterioration of conditions, particularly in terms of human security, energy supply and protection of critical infrastructures, has resulted in competition between powers with interests in the region.
Despite covering less than 1% of the ocean surface, the Mediterranean carries 20% of the world's maritime traffic. Although its importance is set to weaken with the opening of northern sea routes, the Mediterranean remains central to Western geopolitics.
In this context, IDN opens a Call for Papers for the journal Nação e Defesa, under the theme “Geopolitical Challenges in the Mediterranean". Manuscripts must be submitted by March 31st to idn.publicacoes@defesa.pt.
Interested authors should consult the submission guidelines of the Nação e Defesa journal.
