Hey Europe! The Maghreb Matters

Arab Digest editor William Law, in conversation with Francis Ghilès, an associate senior researcher at the Barcelona Centre for International Affairs (CIDOB). A former North Africa correspondent for the Financial Times, he is a specialist on security, energy, and political trends in North Africa and the Western Mediterranean. Francis Ghilès argues that after exploiting the Maghreb in colonial times and largely ignoring it since, Europe now is in urgent need of strategies that treat the region as an equal partner with shared concerns.
