Les Dialogues Stratégiques, fruit d'une collaboration entre le HEC Center for Geopolitics et le Policy Center for the New South, constituent une plateforme d'échanges biannuelle dédiée à l'analyse des grandes tendances mondiales et des problématiques régionalesqui lient l'Europe et l'Afrique. Réunissant praticiens, décideurs, universitaires et représentants desmédias, cet espace de réflexion permet de décoder les transformations en cours et de proposer des réponses aux défis contemporains.

Cette publication est le résultat de la 18eme édition des Dialogues Stratégiques, organisée le 21 mai 2025, où ont été présentés et débattus 41 Chapitres autour de deux thématiques majeures : « L'Iran et la reconfiguration du Moyen-Orient» et « Le Soudan comme exemple de guerre protéiforme en Afrique».

Dans un contexte marqué par al recomposition des équilibres régionaux, les réflexions de cette édition s'articulent autour de deux cas emblématiques : l'Iran et al reconfiguration du Moyen-Orient d'une part, le Soudan et les guerres protéiformes en Afrique d'autre part. Ces thématiques mettent en lumière la manière dont les rivalitésde puissance, les interventions extérieures et les fractures internes redessinent les rapports de force, fragilisent les souverainetés et complexifient les perspectives de stabilité.

Elles offrent également un prisme comparatif pour analyser les convergences entre dynamiques moyen-orientales et africaines, tout en interrogeant les conditions d'un ordre international capable de gérer durablement ces transitions.

    This paper explores the recent evolution of security cooperation between the United States and Algeria, which have forged a strong partnership on counterterrorism despite lingering mutual distrust. The United States has strengthened its defense outreach to Algeria over the past decade, largely based on concerns over transnational terrorism, and Algeria has sought to benefit from this outreach as it positions itself as a vital player on regional issues following years of civil confli ...
