Abstract: This chapter takes stock of the EU's SSR-related activities in the countries of its southern neighbourhood, i.e. the Mediterranean region and the Middle East. Needless to say, this is a region which is characterised by important deficits in terms of security governance, as well as democratic governance more generally. Thus, according to the ratings of Freedom House, the Middle East and North Africa is the region of the world which contains the highest percentage (61%) of countries which are rated as 'not free' in terms of political and civil liberties. Among the Arab countries of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (EMP), no country is considered 'free', and only Jordan and Morocco qualify as 'partly free'. Similarly, the Arab Human Development Report of 2004 has pointed to the 'freedom deficit' in the Arab world, i,e. to the lack of freedom of expression, of association and of making political choices.
