يتزامن هذا اليوم، 15 نونبر 2022، مع تجاوز عتبة 8 مليارات نسمة، ويمكن أن يصل هذا العدد إلى 10 مليارات في عام 2050. ومع ذلك، فإن النمو السكاني يتباطأ من عام إلى آخر على المستوى الدولي على الرغم من أن نسب الخصوبة والولادات متباينة بحسب المناطق. في هذا الإطار، قامت بعض البلدان، بمرور الوقت بتعديل سياساتها السكانية استجابة للحقائق الديمغرافية الجديدة والناشئة. فأين تتجلى أهم هاته الاتجاهات الديموغرافية في العالم الذي يضم اليوم 8 مليارات نسمة؟ كيف يمكن تمكين كل فرد وسط هاته التغيرات وتداعياتها على المجتمعات؟ وكيف يمكن بناء مؤسسات قادرة على الصمود أمام التغيرات الديموغرافية في المستقبل بالتركيز على النظم الاقتصادية لتلبية حاجيات السكان بدل تركيز الجهود على تغيير أعداد السكان لتلبية احتياجات النظم الاقتصادية؟

    The author of this opinion, Danielle Alakija, is a 2024 alumna of the Atlantic Dialogues Emerging Leaders Program. Once upon a time—or so the story went—the Global South was cast to the margins of the global development narrative. Assigned a supporting role in someone else’s story, it was exploited for its resources and subdued by the authoritative tone of external narrators. This image, painted in tones of crisis and dependency, continues to echo through textbooks and news cycles. ...

In today’s interconnected world, knowledge plays a vital role in driving change and shaping solutions.

Strengthening resilient knowledge ecosystems fosters inclusive developme ...

    The experience of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay: Market integration within MERCOSUR and with other global partners Insights for AfCFTA countries?

    The pros and the cons of regional market integration are well exemplified by the experience of Uruguay, a small, open economy in MERCOSUR, which is a highly protectionist trade bloc, dominated by Argentina and Brazil. With access to such large markets, Uruguay did raise its growth rate during the first decade of MERCOSUR, the 1990s. However, market integration as implemented in MERCOSUR was also problematic in that Uruguay suffered from the high protectionism of Argentina in the for ...

    The contrast between Argentina’s rich natural resource endowment and its poor economic performance has been the focus of much socio-political and economic analysis. When it created MERCOSUR with its immediate neighbors, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay in 1991, it had access to a trading bloc with a combined GDP of US$ 419 trillion (2019), making it the 5th largest economy in the world. Joining the MERCOSUR was a break from its protectionist past. But it did not last. Argentina greatl ...

    Due to historical as well as geographical reasons, India and East Africa have long been close partners. In the recent period however, and even more so since the early 2000s, these ties have tightened as a result of combined efforts by the government of India and its business community. The presence of communities of Indian origin in several East African countries has also acted as a catalyst. East Africa is perceived as a valuable partner both by Indian authorities and by Indian pr ...

    Their boat-if you name a large rubber pumped up like a giant tire, was rocked by waves, and the engine halted its movements. On November 24, all the 29 passengers tried to reach coastguard stations in France and England via their cell phones few minutes between life and death. No one answered, and when finally contact was established by another, still floating migrant boat, witnessing the tragedy in the making (New York Times December 14, 2021), they were asked to pinpoint their l ...

    Between January 2020 and June 2021, the world spent about US $16.5 trillion (18% of world GDP) to fight COVID-19, and this amount does not even include the most important losses such as deaths, mental health effects, restrictions on human freedom, and other nonmonetary suffering. Nearly 90% of this amount was spent by developed economies; the rest by emerging market and developing economies. Low-income countries spent just US $12.5 billion, or less than 0.0001% of the total.

    Is China a Developing Country?

    May 31, 2021
    China is the world's largest exporter of goods. It is also, by any plausible criterion, a developing country. China's dual status needs to be better reflected in Chinese policies - recognizing its global responsibilities -- and in those of the Western powers - recognizing China's limitations. Across three important agendas - macroeconomics, development assistance, and climate - important differences between China and the West remain, yet none of these issues appears intractable. ...
