Directors and Coordinators of Institutions within the Social Sciences Network and other academics are invited to participate in this long-term programme of studies. The objectives are (a) to focus on the multidimensional problem of 'enemy images' with particular reference to those prevailing between EuroMediterranean countries and (b) to plan alternative economic, social, political and cultural strategies for the development of attitudes conducive to unprejudiced open mindedness and cooperation between European and Mediterranean countries Mon, 01 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/40776 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/40775 Title: Does a margin of extensibility of the idea of Europe exist? Abstract: The study of human peopling of the Mediterranean area and reconstruction of the history and biological structure of populations. The biological reconstruction of populations starts from the study of diacronical variations of somatic, genetic, demographic peculiarities, analyzed in connection with the natural and anthrophized environment. Analysis of the importance of anthropical intervention on natural environments of the Mediterranean area and knowledge of the structure and dynamic ofvegetable and animal cenosis. In a first stage of the research the historical topography of Asia Minor and of the neighbouring islands will be traced to point out the stages of recent transformations and to compare them with the past. It will be possible, hence, to draw the lines of the development trend of this area. The map of confessional, economical. regional tensions of the area allows to establish the limits of the possible integration and to single out the obstacles to dodge round of, in the correlation of different entities.

Having already analysed on previous occasions the demographic aspects of this problem, from the point of view both of the differentiated demographic dynamics (Di Comite, 1988; Blangiardo Di Comite, 1989) and of the migratory flows concerning the Mediterranean area (Di Comite, 1985; Di Comite, 1989), this time we intend to make a brief review of the main differences that can be observed, at present and in the future, about the demographic balances in this area, studying the U.N. data, that are quite similar to one another. Description: This paper was written in connection with the research programme on "Migrazioni mediterranee e sviluppo demografico dell'Africa settentrionale", financed by M.P.I. (40%).
