point of neglect has been the gendered dimension of Euro-Mediterranean relations. This
article argues that the Euro-Mediterranean space has been formed within the gendered global
West/non-West relations with the purpose of promoting the West’s security interests. Euro-
Mediterranean security relations, thus, embody a gendered power hierarchy between the
hybrid hegemonic masculinity of the EU (bourgeois-rational and citizen-warrior) and the
subordinate (both feminized and hypermasculinized) southern neighbourhood. In addition, it
shows that following the Arab Spring the EU has been determined to maintain the status quo
by reconstructing these gendered power relations. This gender analysis contributes to the
literature on Euro-Mediterranean relations through its specific focus on the (re)construction
processes of gendered identities within the West/non-West context in tandem with the EU’s
competing notions of security.
in world politics, between whom, and to what end. This article studies two types
of trust in the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership: rationalist trust which
characterizes inter-state cooperation to protect order and cosmopolitan trust which
reveals the emancipatory potential of political structures that aim to achieve more
security for individuals. In this study, two types of trust will be illustrated in the
Euro-Mediterranean cooperation by analyzing the link between security and trust.
It is argued that while rationalist trust between states with ‘security as order’
rationality reconstructs the status quo in North African countries, cosmopolitan
trust with ‘security as emancipation’ rationality toward North African individuals
has the potential to transform these countries’ political structures.

reached a peak after 2005. From then on, along with a focus on Central Asia, the Balkans and
the Middle East, Turkish foreign policy started shifting its focus to Africa, and as a new donor

have had adverse implications for various security referents in the South. While it is too soon to tell whether the so-called ‘Arab Spring’ has been delayed or brought on by such collaboration, our research shows how Euro-Mediterranean security collaboration has rendered more defenceless the already vulnerable individuals and societies in the South and how Southern Mediterranean states/regimes and societies have become further alienated from each other following such collaboration.
The paper also highlights how the very practices adopted by European actors to secure the Union and its values may have rendered it less secure insofar as they have had consequences for the very meaning of what it means to be ‘European’.
