    Despite the sustained growth in the bilateral trade observed at the beginning of the Century, Moroccan – Brazilian economic relations are still going through what could be called the ‘shallow’ phase of relations between two middle-income countries. Trade is concentrated in a few products – those where both countries enjoy long lasting and natural comparative advantages – and face strong difficulties to diversify in terms of products and to upgrade towards more complex models of lin ...

    This paper discusses the development of a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model with detailed specification for land use. The model considers two aspects of land use: land as a measure of production cost and land as a physical entity that can be used in a variety of ways. To analyze the economic effects of climate change, we integrated the CGE model and an econometric model. The results based on this model, which captures how land allocation responds to changes in temperature a ...

    Retour des combattants terroristes étrangers : Une menace imminente à gérer
    Authors

    February 15, 2017
    Au dernier trimestre de l’année 2016, les spécialistes du terrorisme étaient encore occupés par la contreradicalisation, l’endoctrinement et les dangers des départs des jeunes recrues vers les foyers de tension, alors que la question du retour chez eux commençait déjà à se poser, dans leurs pays d’origine, de ceux qui ont expérimenté la guerre et acquis d’importantes capacités de combat. Ils avaient dès les débuts de la deuxième décennie afflué en Syrie et en Irak de partout dans le ...

    February 15, 2017
    During the last quarter of 2016, terrorism specialists were still busy with the issues of counter-radicalization, indoctrination, and the dangers of young recruits departing to tension hotbeds, when the question arose about the return to their countries of origin by those who have experienced war and acquired significant combat capabilities. For nearly the past decade, they have been flocking to Syria and Iraq from around the world. ...

    Will America Trigger a Global Trade War?
    Authors

    February 9, 2017
    The new Trump administration is openly protectionist. The President called for “America First” and for “Buy American, Hire American” in his inaugural speech and his subsequent actions dispelled any remaining doubt that he meant what he said during the election campaign. As promised, he has withdrawn from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, an agreement among twelve countries across three continents that took nearly 10 years to negotiate. He has threatened American companies that invest a ...

    Accumulation du capital et gains de productivite au Maroc
    Authors
    Taoufik Abbad
    February 3, 2017
    La réflexion développée dans cet ouvrage part d’un constat alarmant et pressant. Le processus continu et renforcé de l’accumulation du capital, dans lequel s’est engagé le Maroc depuis les années 2000, a permis certes de préserver la stabilité des équilibres fondamentaux et d’amortir les différents chocs exogènes, aussi bien internes qu’externes, mais il n’a pas permis d’insuffler un accroissement plus important des gains de productivité et d’accélérer la transformation de la base p ...

    In previous pieces, we have analyzed the run up to the still-ongoing Brazilian recession as a combination of factors. Given an “anemia” of productivity increases, an appetite for public spending without prioritization led to a condition of fiscal “obesity”. The external factors that provided for a boom in the new millennium, notwithstanding underlying vulnerabilities, have dissipated. The economic policy adopted as a response to the growth decline aggravated those vulnerabilities. O ...

    Cooperation Against Transnational Crime: The Case of the Zone of Peace and Cooperation of the South Atlantic
    Authors
    Mostapha Mouzouni
    January 23, 2017
    Cooperation against transnational crime in the North Atlantic region is highly institutionalized in the framework of regional organizations that are reinforced by ancestral identities. Europol and the U.S. Joint Interagency Task Force-South are exemplary in this regard. The South Atlantic region, however, is less institutionalized, making the study of such cooperation a difficult exercise. With the exception of some actions initiated by specialized international organizations, there ...
