The perception of present developments and future trends on security relevant challenges in the Mediterranean region differ according to the worldviews, mind-sets and conceptual lenses of scientists, analysts and decision-makers (Hill/Beschoff 1994). Social scientists have been influenced by different intellectual traditions or worldviews (Gabriel 1994), by scientific schools and theoretical contexts (Goertz 1994).
