This overarching theme serves as the lens through which Newman examines various geopolitical situations that are of importance to the Mediterranean and European stability.The book is not intended as an exhaustive examination of Mediterranean politics; rather, it strives to provide a concise overview of specific situations that hold considerable sway over the region's future. Newman specifically excludes discussions on Palestine and Syria, as these topics are treated in his previous work, The Middle East. His insights are drawn from his experiences as a special correspondent in the region, where he gained firsthand knowledge of the complexities involved.

By synthesising these elements, The Mediterranean and Its Problems aims to elucidate the intricate relationships and challenges facing this pivotal region.…
