Based on the regime chosen is the Mediterranean Action Plan (MAP) – and its legal framework, the Barcelona Convention – which was established in 1975 under the aegis of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and used the Q methodology. The author collects relevant literature and identifying the stakeholders, 25 in-depth interviewed were conducted and interviewed 294 statements were extracted, from which 44 were finally selected to be used in the Q study.
