HOW TO FIX EUROPE’S FAILURE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN?

With the USA remaining the leading member of NATO, but doing its best to stay out of problems in North Africa and the broader Mediterranean, it has been down to the defence alliance’s local members states and the European Union (EU) to tackle terrorism and people trafficking. So far, the Europeans have failed to stem the flow of migrants or halt the spread of terrorism. Dr Dave Sloggett analyses the situation and looks at potential solutions.
