 The past decade has been a time of change for the countries of the
 Mediterranean basin.  Europe is no longer the same after the reunification
 of Germany, the collapse of the Soviet Union and the growing strength of
 the European Community.  North Africa is witnessing increasing political
 tension with the rise of religious fundamentalisms.  In the Middle East
 relations between Palestinians and Israelis seem to seesaw between
 declarations of peace and acts of terrorist or state violence.
 
 This conference will seek, among other things, to update our understanding
 of the Mediterranean as a cultural entity, and, in so doing, to establish
 the grounds for the dialogue that can take place between the many
 different regions of the area.
