Summary in English.

Comments on the possibility of unification of the Mediterranean region, modeled after the European Union. Five European Mediterranean nations & twelve southern (African) Mediterranean nations would form a religiously heterogeneous, but essentially forward-moving secular & modernized political unit. While basic conditions for the realization of such a regional integration are favorable, it is argued that the progress would not be rapid. A Mediterranean union would benefit from today's economic globalization trends, expanded communication networks, shared knowledge bases, social & health care applications of scientific advances, greater appreciation & preservation of the region's cultural heritage & tourist destinations, & ecological conservation.
