Abstract
In the introduction to this volume I warned readers that they would be disappointed if they were expecting a synthetic and homogenized treatment of the southern region of the Atlantic Alliance. The region is a patchwork of disparate and, in some cases, conflicting, cultures and security interests. In spite of this heterogeneity, however, we can identify three trends which are dominant throughout the region in the 1980s: first, the maturation of the foreign and security policies of the Southern European countries; second, the transition to democracy throughout the region; and third, the Socialist composition of almost every government in the southern region.
