مستخلص: For millennia, the Mediterranean Sea has connected Eurasia's western fifth—Europe—with Asia and Africa. These articles on Mediterranean political processes from 1400 to 2006 unfold against the background of regional distinctness. The Mediterranean gains special properties from its service as an intercontinental bridge, the diversity of its populations, the age-old but never successful competition for control of its perimeter, and the intensity of trading connections within its limits. All of these features have long shaped Mediterranean political processes and continue to do so today. The articles in these two special issues stand out not only for the light they shed on the region but also for their adoption of a relational perspective on Mediterranean political processes.
