\nIn the spring of 2020, the Atlantic Alliance\u2019s \u201clarge periphery\u201d
\nto the South, which extends from the Sahel to the Asian borders of the Arabian Gulf, remains in a state of dangerous instability. The health and containment measures taken by the authorities against the COVID-19 crisis have put popular claims to rest. The case of Lebanon shows, however, that the urgency of the pandemic has not made the demands of the population disappear. Beyond managing the health crisis, there is no doubt that the future of the region\u2019s leaderships1<\/a> will largely depend on their ability to mitigate
\nboth the socio-economic consequences of the COVID-19 crisis, as well as the political ones.<\/i><\/p>\n
\ninternal cohesion are unstable, the challenges are ever
\nmore complex. Despite the relative consensus between
\nNATO and its Mediterranean Dialogue (MD) and Istanbul
\nCooperation Initiative (ICI) partners on the deep-rooted causes of the structural instability, the potential solutions are much debated. NATO\u2019s \u201cProjecting Stability\u201d concept raises as many questions with the partners, as it does within the Alliance, since a desired
\nend-state has yet to be defined. While all efforts contributing to an increase in stability are a priori<\/em> welcome, the Alliance and its partners must agree on the conditions of stability in order to identify and implement effective means suited to the local context.<\/i><\/p>\n
