12
January 2021
Mohammed Loulichki, Salma Daoudi 

Constituant l’un des rendez-vous phares de cette année 2020, au vu de la conjoncture domestique et internationale, l’élection présidentielle américaine s’inscrit comme un tournant géopolitique important, soulevant de nombreuses questions à propos de l'avenir de la politique étrangère des Etats-Unis.

En conversation avec Mohammed Loulichki, ce podcast aborde la transition politique entre l’administration du Président Trump et celle du Président-Elu Biden, ébauche certains points saillants de la diplomatie américaine par rapport auxquels un changement perceptible de position peut s’opérer, et aborde enfin les récents développements des relations marocco-américaines, dressant les implications de la proclamation de reconnaissance américaine de la souveraineté du Royaume sur son Sahara.

    Strategic Hedging as Rational Diplomacy
    Authors
    Marcus Vinicius de Freitas
    October 22, 2026
    Strategic hedging is rational when it preserves a worthwhile choice at a tolerable cost while respecting existing commitments. Drawing on the literature on hedging and Latin American autonomy, this Policy Brief examines contrasting illustrations of that proposition. It distinguishes ambiguity about future alignment from uncertainty about existing obligations and explains how clearly bounded commitments can reconcile autonomy with credibility. The cases reveal different vulnerabiliti ...

    L’art de conserver ses options: vers une approche africaine du Chief Geopolitical Officer
    Authors
    Florent Parmentier
    October 12, 2026
    Cet article soutient que le Chief Geopolitical Officer (CGO) doit être repensé à partir de l’expérience des entreprises africaines. Dans un environnement multipolaire et fragmenté, leur principal défi n’est pas seulement la gestion des risques, mais la préservation de plusieurs options stratégiques simultanément selon une logique de hedging. Trois modèles de CGO sont à distinguer : l’intermédiation (Office chérifien des Phosphates (OCP), Tanger Med), l’intégration régionale (Ethiopi ...

    In the first seven Policy Briefs of this ongoing series of analysis on Pan-Atlanticism: The Atlantic Basin in a Multipolar-Transnational World, we developed the argument that the strategic significance of the Atlantic Basin is on the rise for a range of international actors (states, regions and non-state agents) and from distinct political or ideological perspectives. In addition, in the most recently published Policy Brief -- “The U.S. and the Current International Reconfiguration: ...

    October 8, 2026
    In the two years since the fall of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, Russia has restructured its Mediterranean presence. Although Russia’s limited and increasingly conditional access to the Khmeimim and Tartus facilities in Syria has been preserved, its presence in the country has morphed from Assad’s ‘patron-client’ configuration to a more negotiated engagement. Simultaneously, Russia has upgraded its force-projection and logistical infrastructure in eastern Libya, giving it an access path ...
  • Brazil’s Election and Global South Autonomy
    Authors
    Marcus Vinicius de Freitas
    October 7, 2026
    Brazil's election poses a question that extends well beyond Latin America: how much freedom does a country retain to define its international role when external pressure collides with domestic political exhaustion? For the Global South, the answer matters more than any foreign government's preference regarding the next occupant of the presidential palace. Strategic autonomy remains fragile if every change of government puts a country's freedom of action back up for negotiation. ...

  • The Flydubai Flight FZ1073 Incident: Towards a New Generation of Threats to Civil Aviation?
    Authors

    October 2, 2026
    The incident involving Flydubai Flight FZ1073 between Dubai and Tel Aviv does not yet support any definitive attribution. It does, however, provide a useful warning sign: as aviation security closes off traditional avenues of intrusion, threats may shift towards alternative pathways by exploiting the people, service providers, and systems that the aviation ecosystem must necessarily trust.  ...

    L’incident du vol FZ1073 de Flydubai : vers une nouvelle génération de menaces contre l’aviation civile ?

    October 2, 2026
    L’incident du vol FZ1073 entre Dubaï et Tel-Aviv ne permet encore aucune attribution définitive. Il constitue en revanche un révélateur utile : à mesure que la sûreté aérienne ferme les voies classiques d’intrusion, la menace cherche à emprunter des voies alternatives en exploitant les personnes, les prestataires et les systèmes auxquels l’écosystème aéronautique doit nécessairement accorder sa confiance. ...
