Rome MED builds upon four pillars: Security, Prosperity, Culture, and Human Dimension. Debates on these topics are intended to complement analyses of current challenges with new ideas and suggestions to scale-up economic cooperation, overcome regional rivalries and conflicts, and ensure that adequate incentives for sustainable development are set in motion.
Security
Discussions within the “Security” pillar explore new ideas and strategies to prevent socio-political and securitarian instability, foster cooperation on matters of common interest, and promote collaborative approaches to complex geopolitical problems.
Prosperity
Within the “Prosperity” pillar, emphasis is placed on the role that economic elites, business communities, public and private sector, as well as civil society actors can play to foster prosperity and growth across the Mediterranean region, which is abundant with promising opportunities.
Human Dimension
The “Human dimension” pillar engages discussion on aspects of policies, decisions and events that have direct implications for the rights, freedoms, and well-being of individuals, highlighting the central role of human lives and dignity to international actions and policymakers’ choices.
Culture
The “Civil Society and Culture” pillar acknowledges that the Mediterranean region is a unique melting pot of cultures, traditions, customs and religion, bound together by historical ties and a common shared heritage.
