The Mediterranean dimension of the external activity of Catalonia: the Latin Arch

Abstract

The Mediterranean region is one of the areas which are taking rmore and more importance in the context of the external activity of Catalonia. The goals of the Catalonian external activity in its Mediterranean dimension are, mainly, of an economic character. That is why, this activity is articulated around the European-Mediteranean axis, the Latin Arch. However, it does not mean that Catalonia's external activity forgets the idea of globality of the region and, consequently, the opportunity and necessity of enforcing the relations with the South Mediterranean countries.
