Abstract EN

The regional economic integration tends to be one of the most prominent features and advantages of the new international system, characterized by the regional action within the framework of the so-called "New Regionalism", an alternative of the classical approach to economic integration.

The new regionalism is the approach adopted in order to integrate the new world economic order, and the liberalization of international trade, by relying on foreign direct investment as an export-oriented driver which allows to penetrate international markets; leading to both concentration and proliferation.

An approach that takes advantage of the destruction of tariffs and non-tariffs and quantitative restrictions offered by the regional action.

Regional agreements have reinforced the positive impact on foreign direct investment flows (inward and outward) towards integrated areas (Integrating Regions).

This is as far as the conceptual framework is concerned, A framework which is manifested in the partnership agreement of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (Barcelona Declaration, 1995), which is the subject of our study; through the FDIij data analysis, and GDPij, and population (POPij), and the distance between the two banks (DISij), and the trade agreements (TradeAgtij), and colonial past (COLONIZERij), and the statement of their behaviours and trends, and estimating the growth rates, applying the empirical study on them.
