Workshop Number 13: 'Superpower Rivalry and Third Way(s) in the Mediterranean'

This workshop examines the competing interests and political, economic and cultural influences of the Non-Aligned Movement against those of the Superpowers in the Cold War Mediterranean. From this region's perspective, we reconsider the meaning of nonalignment, its protagonists and its ramifications for a "third way" between the Blocs. Our Workshop seeks to bring together scholars with diverse disciplinary perspectives and expertise on the Superpower confrontation in the region.

Medvedev- Obama Briefing in Moscow-July 6, 2009

When I came home rather enlightened from the AERI, on a lighter note, I wanted to see how Obama and Medvedev characterized their meeting today in Moscow. We all know that Russia is not the Soviet Union. She has her own realities such as allowing our military planes to fly over again her territory..Of course, what do I know- I am a librarian...Enjoy this long briefing...What is a normal road into 21st century?
