Introduction: Andrea Margelletti
The Mediterranean remains one of the most socially and geopolitically unstable regions in the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the entire area, reinforcing authoritarian tendencies in countries such as Egypt and Turkey. While the failed elections of December 2021 in Libya exposed the country’s deep instability and divisions, Syria continues to be mired in an endless conflict, and Lebanon has faced an increasingly dire economic crisis. In a highly fragmented Mediterranean, where new regional actors are emerging, the direct disengagement of the United States continues—an element that compels Europe to take on greater political responsibility. What will be the region’s social trends? How will individual countries respond to epochal challenges, such as the pandemic and migration flows? These and many other questions are addressed in the Geopolitical Atlas of the Mediterranean 2022, now in its eighth edition—an essential tool for experts
and non-experts alike. With an essay by Riccardo Redaelli.
