Abstract

Donald Trump US narratives towards the region have been characterized by both continuity and change. ‘Lacking a distinct foreign policy narrative’ the European Union projects its ‘internal meta-narrative of peaceful integration’ towards the MENA region, (p. 175) especially through its institutionalized Euro-Mediterranean frameworks of cooperation, which is widely perceived as normative. Without any prospect of accession and any willingness among Arab states to pursue EU reforms, however, the EU’s narrative of regional order has limited impact. Political Narratives in the Middle East and North Africa. Conceptions of Order and Perceptions of Instability, editors Wolfgang Mühlberger and Toni Alaranta, is an important addition to the relatively understudied topic of narratives, both theoretically and empirically. Though the selection of regional countries can be questioned – in fact there are no states from North Africa in spite of the fact that Tunisia, Libya, Egypt have all had their 2011 uprising, or Algeria in 2018 -, the research may, and certainly will, go on by expanding to cover further case studies.

国际关系的复杂影响

美国对该地区的叙述既有连续性，也有变化性。“缺乏明确的外交政策叙事”，欧盟将其“和平一体化的内部元叙事”投射到中东和北非地区(第175页)，特别是通过其制度化的欧洲-地中海合作框架，这被广泛认为是规范的。然而，由于阿拉伯国家没有加入欧盟的希望，也没有追求欧盟改革的意愿，欧盟关于地区秩序的叙述影响有限。中东和北非的政治叙事。《秩序的概念和对不稳定的感知》，编辑沃尔夫冈·米尔伯格和托妮·阿兰塔，是一个重要的补充，相对较少研究的主题叙事，在理论上和经验上。尽管对地区国家的选择可能会受到质疑——事实上，尽管突尼斯、利比亚、埃及都在2011年发生了起义，阿尔及利亚在2018年发生了起义，但北非没有国家——但研究可能，也肯定会继续扩大，以涵盖更多的案例研究。

期刊介绍： Mediterranean Politics is the only refereed academic journal to focus on the politics, international relations and political economy of the entire Mediterranean area - "Mediterranean" here being understood to refer to all those countries whose borders are defined partially or wholly by the Mediterranean Sea. This focus involves consideration not only of the region itself, but also the significance of developments there for other parts of the world. The journal analyses the central issues that concern Mediterranean countries and assesses both local and international responses to them. While its prime concern is with political developments, the focus of Mediterranean Politics extends to all the factors and dimensions affecting political life.
