Mediterranean Region: Complex Security Risks

Vassilios Damiras, CEO and Chairman of “Geostrategic Forecasting Corporation” participates in Risk Roundup with Jayshree Pandya to discuss “Complex Security Risks of Mediterranean Region”. Overview The Mediterranean region encircles three continents: Western Asia, North Africa, and Southern Europe. Nations surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, the Mediterranean region, that once had so completely represented the interaction and integration of diverse cultures, communities and citizen collaboration seems to be now at cross roads today. The road to transport, trade and cultural exchange seems to be blurring and fading for the nations in the region. This decline in interaction and integration has pushed the Mediterranean region towards a number of complex challenges and critical security risks. These complex challenges, risks and issues range from the escalation of extremism to nationalism to arms trade, socio-economic constraints, cyber warfare and more. From the Syrian refugee crisis to the on-going terrorist attacks and from cyber breaches to cyber warfare, the stability and security of Mediterranean nations: its government, industries, organizations and academia (NGIOA) is failing right in front of our eyes. There is a growing concern that the Mediterranean region security has become a complex challenge that would impact not only those nations in the region but all nations globally. There are many who feel that framing effective security solutions for the region seem impossible. So the question is how to bring the safety, security and stability to the region when the complex risks and issues are moving towards a crisis that will put entire humanity at risk?   To watch or listen “Vassilios Damiras”, the Chairman and CEO of “Geostrategic Forecasting Corporation” participation in Risk Roundup with Jayshree Pandya to discuss Mediterranean Region Geopolitics and Security Risks” please watch the video or hear the audio podcast. Risk Roundup: video/audio podcasts are available on YouTube, iTunes, Android, Google Play, Stitcher Radio, Risk Group, professional social media and Risk Group networks.   About the Guest “Vassilios Damiras”, is the Chairman and CEO of “Geostrategic Forecasting Corporation”.
