Alors que les défis globaux – changement climatique, transition énergétique, montée des conflits – s'accumulent, les outils multilatéraux peinent à offrir des solutions efficaces. La montée du protectionnisme et des intérêts nationaux exacerbe ces tensions, tandis que l'Afrique, riche en ressources stratégiques, s'impose comme un acteur incontournable. La souveraineté économique, la transformation locale des ressources et l'équité dans les échanges deviennent des impératifs pour une gouvernance mondiale qui réponde véritablement aux besoins des populations et des générations futures.

    This paper analyzes the future of migrations related to climate changes and environment degradations. He shows how the dominant public reasoning remains inappropriate for addressing these issues, because of the Western/Northern countries' misconception of the relation between migration and environmental changes, including the cultural and political biases these countries show in the solutions they propose. The discrepancy between public policies and the actual reality of climatic an ...

    La montée en puissance de la Chine et de l’Inde domine les débats économiques depuis quelques années déjà. Poursuivant une stratégie d’internationalisation résolue, les entreprises chinoises et indiennes sont désormais présentes dans bon nombre de régions du globe. Ce dynamisme n’a pas manqué de susciter des inquiétudes mais aussi des espoirs, notamment dans le monde en développement, où ces deux pays sont perçus comme des partenaires potentiellement plus bienveillants que les pays ...

    Before the 9/11 events, US-Maghreb relations were growing stronger, especially after the United States had long left the floor to the Maghreb’s “natural” European partner. Therefore the American action in this region was in line with a mechanism previously set off by Clinton Administration member, Stuart Eizenstat, which aimed at reducing intra regional obstacles and stimulating American investments towards an area where Americans were little-represented. Hence Washington seemed mor ...

    The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is a regional organization which was created in 1981, reassembling six Arab countries together: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Thanks to their oil income, GCC countries have enjoyed economic boom since 2002, hence breaking with the 1990s economic slow-down. The year 2002 corresponds to the oil prices’ entry in an upward spiral which has resulted in an increase of both income and foreign assets. This ...

    Morocco as a Connector State: A Winning Strategy in a Fragmented World

    Dans un environnement international reconfiguré, les économies à revenu intermédiaire poursuivent leur processus de convergence dans des conditions plus exigeantes. La fragmentation géopolitique et la réorganisation des chaînes de valeur mondiales modifient les logiques d'insertion productive, tandis que les tensions sur le système monétaire international pèsent sur le financement des économies en développement. L'accélération des transitions technologique et énergétique redistribue par ailleurs les avantages comparatifs et exige des capacités d'adaptation que tous les pays ne peuvent mobiliser au même degré. Les moteurs classiques du rattrapage se trouvent fragilisés, et le risque d'enlisement dans le piège du revenu intermédiaire se pose de manière plus pressante.C'est dans ...
