EU-MIDDLE EAST NETWORK IN ACTION (EUMENIA) / Jean Monnet Network Project

Project Team at Yaşar University: Prof. Dr. Aylin GÜNEY, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Emre İŞERİ, Dr. Lecturer Gökay ÖZERİM

Total Project Budget:  300.000 Euros 

Partners: University of Amsterdam – the Netherlands (coordinator); Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI) – Italy; University of Peloponnese – Greece; Roskilde University – Denmark; Yasar University – Turkey; Birzeit University – Palestine; American University of Beirut – Lebanon; University of Jordan – Jordan 

Short Summary of the Project: The rationale of this interdisciplinary partnership is to encourage exchange of academic best-practices, bridge the gap between policy-making and academic world and create a thematic transnational research group. EU-Middle East relations constitute a cornerstone of the EU’s external relations and engagement with its neighbourhood. How has the EU been constructed in the Middle East debate and how has the Middle East been constructed in the European debate? These interlinked fundamental questions will guide the work of the network as they have a direct impact on how the EU and the Middle East are constructed, taught and understood by the European and Middle Eastern societies, students, academics and policy makers.
