Abstract

Today, the Mediterranean is facing complex challenges and trends of multiple origins, from political conflicts and institutional changes to climatic and socio-economic alterations. In addition to the Syrian conflict, these instabilities are causing protracted forced displacements both within and across Mediterranean countries as well as towards Europe. According to the last UNHCR Report, about 12 million Syrians were displaced in 2016, that is, about half of the total Syrian population.
