Abstract:

The Arab Maghreb Union AMU was born in Marrakech on February 17, 1989. It is composed of five countries -- Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Mauritania. This union has been a dream of many generations of the peoples of North Africa. Because of the same past, language, religion and culture, and the same challenges, the Union of the Maghreb States is not only natural but also a necessity. It is natural since history and the geographic location have shaped this region into a distinct entity necessary because only united can the countries of the Maghreb better defend their interests against the European Economic Community and strengthen their position and their role in the international arena, mainly within the rest of the Arab world. Moreover, the Maghreb union can contribute to promoting and safeguarding peace and security, as well as ideals of freedom and justice around the Mediterranean region. This paper provides some recommendations of how successfully to achieve integration and develop joint unified strategies.
