of individual European states or groups of states. As one part of this research agenda, Ulrich Krotz investigates the causes and motivations behind the EU’s twentyfive military and civilian missions abroad to date, along with several ‘negative cases’ in which joint action did not materialize. Tentatively titled ‘Divided We Stand’, the book project elucidates the bumpy emergence of common European foreign, security, and defense stances – and thus central aspects of the EU’s growing external involvement in international security affairs over the past fifteen or so years. Drawing from general international relations theory, the book develops hypotheses on differing degrees of cooperation or its absence with respect to the possibility of joint action. The project focuses on explaining variation in cooperative outcomes, as well as cases of failure, since the process began in the mid-1990s. In another research project, Ulrich Krotz scrutinizes the phenomenon of ‘special’ interstate relations in international politics. This project develops a conceptual framework to investigate diverse kinds of special relationships between states and to study their political impact on international affairs. It distinguishes among different types of special relationships, and analyzes the diverse conditions from which special relations have emerged historically. In the investigation of the character, diversity, and significance of special interstate relationships, this project combines matters of general international relations, European foreign relations and transatlantic affairs, issues of global and regional governance, and comparative methods and research design. tHE MEdItErrAnEAn proGrAMME The Mediterranean Programme was inaugurated in 1999. It is mainly funded by private and public corporations, banks, and public authorities. The Programme focuses on the Euro-Mediterranean area: Southern Europe; the Middle East and North Africa, including the countries involved 28 roBErt ScHuMAn cEntrE For AdVAncEd StudIES in the Barcelona Process; the Arabian Peninsula; Iran; and Iraq. The Mediterranean Programme now concentrates on the study of relations between the EU and Middle Eastern and North African countries. It also continues to enhance the creation of networks between the cultural and research institutes of the countries involved, offering a comfortable environment to establish, or strengthen, informal contacts between policy-makers and experts on both sides of the Mediterranean. The Annual Mediterranean Research Meeting, organised by the RSCAS since March 2000, is the main academic venue in Europe for scholars from Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa to discuss original research in the social sciences with focus on Mediterranean issues. The 2012 session had 15 workshops. The fourteenth session will take place at Mersin University, Turkey from 20-23 March 2013. The Mediterranean Programme is directed by Olivier Roy. Further information is available at: www.eui.eu/RSCAS/ Research/Mediterranean tHE trAnSAtlAntIc proGrAMME The Transatlantic Programme fosters the study of the transatlantic relationship, past and present. It conducts basic and policy-oriented research in an interdisciplinary setting, and aims to improve scholarly understanding of the forces that shape this relationship and its role in global processes. Established in 2000, the Programme has been made possible by generous grants, first from British Petrol (BP) and later from the Republic of Ireland. The programme also received support from the US Mission to the European Union to bring American scholars to the Centre. The programme’s activities include hosting guest speakers, organising lecture series, workshops and conferences and publishing the results of these activities.

puBlIc dEBAtE And polIcy AdVIcE One of the main goals of the Centre is to draw on its basic research for more policy-oriented activities. Many RSCAS projects and programmes have the explicit aim of contributing to public debate and policy advice. For example, EUDO conducted several strongly policy-oriented projects and presented some of its activities to the European Parliament. Likewise, the Migration Policy Centre, the FSR and the Loyola de Palacio Chair in EU Energy and many of our research projects have policy-relevant objectives. conFErEncES The Centre regularly organizes conferences, workshops and seminars together with public or private, international, European or national institutions. It also organizes meetings for groups wishing to discuss topics related to their professional activities while benefiting from academic support and a ‘neutral’ environment. The Centre invites distinguished personalities to deliver keynote 29 roBErt ScHuMAn cEntrE For AdVAncEd StudIES speeches or to participate in conferences and debate with the EUI community polIcy pApErS And polIcy rEportS Most of the Centre’s programmes and projects produce reports and working papers on scholarly and policy issues. These include Working Papers, Research Reports, Analytical and Synthetic Notes, and ‘Proceedings’ from policy-maker and expert meetings, training sessions, and workshops. All papers and reports are freely accessible through the web. FAculty contrIButIonS Members of the Centre are regularly engaged with the work of European, international and national institutions, acting as consultants and/or producing reports, studies, policy briefs and the like.
