Analyse de la Situation en Turquie après la Tentative de Coup d’Etat

Ce podcast est délivré par Dorothee Schmid. Dans la nuit du 15 au 16 juillet 2016, une faction de militaires dissidents a tenté un coup d’Etat contre le tout-puissant président turc Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Son échec a ouvert la voie à une reprise en main très sévère sous le slogan de la lutte contre le terrorisme : les partisans de Fethullah Gülen, prédicateur dissident exilé aux Etats-Unis et tenu responsable du coup, sont pourchassés systématiquement. Les relations avec Washington se compliquent, et l’Union européenne craint que l’accord trouvé avec Ankara sur les réfugiés syriens ne soit remis en cause. Quelques semaines plus tard, l’armée turque entre en Syrie avec pour combattre Daesh, mais aussi les Kurdes du PYD. La Turquie se rapproche de la Russie et d’Israël. L’agenda d’Erdogan semble excessivement chargé, dans un contexte de tension intérieure et extérieure extrême. Combien de temps tiendra cet équilibre précaire ?

    You can imagine how often I've been asked to comment on where the Brazilian economy is headed after the election. With polls pointing to a runoff on October 25 and currently showing a statistical tie between Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro in vote simulations, I'm naturally asked about their economic programs and about the country's relations with the United States. ...

    The Mecca Joint Défense Agreement: A New Geometry of Middle Eastern Power?

    On August 7, 2026, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan signed the Mecca Joint Défense Agreement, a collective-defense pact widely compared to NATO’s Article 5. This essay argues that the comparison is misleading. Mecca borrows NATO’s language of solidarity without yet possessing NATO’s institutional machinery, and the Houthi offensive against Saudi Arabia in September 2026 provided an early and revealing test of what the agreement actually means in practice. Neither Pakistan nor Turk ...

    This paper was initially published in French on the website of the Fondation Jean-Jaurès. There was a historic decline in Official Development Assistance (ODA) in 2025. Foreign aid to developing countries from members of the OECD-DAC fell by some 23%, the largest decline on record and the second consecutive annual decline. Aid to Africa fell by more than 25%. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) described this decline in ODA to Africa as “a shock like no other.” It differ ...

    Méditerranée orientale : Chypre devrait devenir un exportateur de gaz naturel dès 2028

    September 23, 2026
    Depuis 2010, environ, on sait que la Méditerranée orientale est une nouvelle province gazière. Des ressources gazières ont en effet été découvertes au large de quatre pays ou territoires, l’Égypte, Israël, Chypre et Gaza. Deux d’entre eux sont devenus producteurs et exportateurs de gaz naturel, l’Égypte et Israël. Au large de Gaza, le champ gazier de Gaza Marine n’a jamais été développé et il est très peu probable qu’il le soit prochainement en raison des très fortes tensions entre ...

    Competing cross-border payment networks: Another arena for geopolitical competition

    Various competing cross-border payment networks have become vehicles for geopolitical competition. As tensions have risen, many countries want to secure access to cross-border payment systems by joining with like-minded countries to form interoperable networks, either via tokenization or Instant Payment Systems (IPSs). Three major projects are under development, serving the strategic interests of the US, China and the Rest of the World—corresponding to the three trading spheres taki ...

    Much of Western debate was revealingly silent on the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, which took place on August 31 and September 1 in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. That relative silence reflects how poorly the organization’s growing significance is still understood. The meeting has not gone unreported. Any gathering of Xi Jinping, Narendra Modi, and Vladimir Putin inevitably attracts&nbs ...
