An impressive body of international research has engaged with the rationales, dynamics and societal consequences of micro and macro-level regional integration projects (e.g. Celata & Coletti, 2015; Sidaway, 1998; S€oderbaum, 2009; Telo, 2007). This research has also offered robust templates for critical analyses of globalization, shifting state territorialities and the networked nature of territorial and ideational hegemony (Perkmann & Sum, 2002; Sidaway, 2002; Sparke, 2006). At the same time, the EU's specific pursuit of regional hegemony in the Mediterranean context has inspired critical political geographies that link economic, social and cultural issues to the political character of relations between the EU and its South Mediterranean neighbours (see, for example, Biebuyck & Rumford, 2012; Celata, Coletti, & Stocchiero, 2016; Jones, 2009).
