The Mediterranean space, defined by a major sea, a large number of littoral countries and to some extent their hinterlands, is at the same time an interface between Europe, Africa and Asia. This brings complex challenges in terms of achieving peace and stability. Recently it has received intense international attention through the internal destructiveness and spill-over from conflicts, primarily those waged in Libya, Syria and, more remotely, Iraq. This Handbook provides an overview of the political processes that shape the Mediterranean region in the contemporary context. It explores the issues of crucial importance to Mediterranean dynamics through a series of analytical sections that guide the reader towards a comprehensive understanding of the main regional interactions and trends. The Handbook explores: the complex historical formation of the contemporary Mediterranean geopolitical perspectives issues around peace and conflict the political economy of the region the role of non-state actors and social movements societal and cultural trends. The wide range of contributions from many of the leading academic experts on the region offers not only insights into the debates and processes that structure each theme, but also key pointers for a more general understanding of how distinct political, economic, social and cultural dynamics interact across the region. It will therefore be a key resource for policy-makers and students and scholars of Mediterranean politics and international relations.

Excerpt from Handbook to the Mediterranean: Its Cities, Coasts and Islands, for the Use "The grand object of all travelling," said Dr. Johnson to Paoli, "is to see the shores of the Mediterranean." English travellers, having explored the Continent by land in all directions, are coming to Johnson's opinion, and, weary of the rail and river-steamer, are flocking in yachts and sea-steamers to that great inland basin on whose shores rose all the mighty Empires of the world, whose ports and harbours became the most populous, prosperous, and magnificent cities. A desire now be coming general to visit those sunny shores and islands where winter is shorn of half its intemperance; and the facilities of moving from place to place afforded by French, Italian, Spanish, and Austrian steam companies, have produced a want for a Handbook which these pages have been prepared to supply. The object of the Editor has been to condense within the limits of a portable volume a reasonable amount of general information regarding all the countries in the basin of the Mediterranean, including such inland excursions as one would naturally make from its ports. Thus we assume that a traveller to Algiers would hardly care to leave the country without making a trip through the Chabet el-Akhira to Constantine; a cruise on the coast of Syria would he incomplete without a visit to the Holy City; no man would go to Malaga, and abstain from running up to Granada. Yet there must be a limit to everything: we have not mentioned even the name Some, and we have described only in brief outline four other great cities, each of which has been fully described in existing Handbooks - Athens, Constantinople, Venice, and Naples. We have preferred to devote a larger portion of our space to localities insufficiently described before, such as the Coast of Africa, Greece, Dalmatia, Cyprus, Malta, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, the Balearic Islands, &c.

Roman pottery, defined for convenience as that made and used within Italy and the Roman provinces between about 100 BC and AD 600, can be characterized by a group of stylistic and technical developments which built upon those of the Hellenistic Greeks and then led to those of the Byzantine and Islamic worlds. Roman pottery can thus provide evidence for ancient literacy, artistic trends and trading patterns within the complex of Mediterranean lands which made up the empire.

In Creating the Mediterranean: Maps and the Islamic Imagination Tarek Kahlaoui treats the subject of the Islamic visual representations of the Mediterranean. It tracks the history of the Islamic visualization of the sea from when geography was created by the Islamic state’s bureaucrats of the tenth century C.E. located mainly in the central Islamic lands, to the later men of the field, specifically the sea captains from the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries C.E. located in the western Islamic lands. A narrative has emerged from this investigation in which the metamorphosis of the identity of the author or mapmaker seemed to be changing with the rest of the elements that constitute the identity of a map: its reader or viewer, its style and structure, and its textual content.
