Widening transatlantic partnerships

In this unique historical analysis, Brandon Deuville examines Canada's contributions to the 1994 Mediterranean Dialogue and the Istanbul Cooperative Initiative, which effectively extended NATO partnership frameworks to Egypt, Israel, Mauritania, Morocco, Turkey and Tunisia. With foreign and defence policies aimed at promoting multilateralism, Canada's substantial contributions to these initiatives has helped increase the stability and security of the Mediterranean region and the wider Middle East, thus transforming the Mediterranean Dialogue and the Istanbul Cooperative Initiative into relevant and mutually advantageous partnerships.
