    April 3, 2017
    Turkey has been approaching a crossroads for some time now. Soon enough it will have to choose a direction. On April 16, 2017 Turks will vote in a referendum on President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s proposed constitutional amendment that would shift the country’s power center from a parliamentary system to a presidential one.  If successful, not only would this further consolidate power in the executive’s hands—in this case Erdogan himself—but it would also pave the way for him to rema ...

    March 24, 2017
    Since the fall of the Derg regime in 1991, cordial relations have developed between China and Ethiopia, forming a positive political backdrop in front of which the two countries’ interests have increasingly converged. On the one hand, Ethiopia seeks to replicate the experience of East Asian countries such as Taiwan, Malaysia, or China and to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) in order to accelerate the development of its manufacturing capacities (in particular through an ambit ...

    Authors

    March 6, 2017
    The big question for Africans on safeguarding peace and security is whether the Pan-African organization, which aspires to lead the continent towards peace and prosperity and to which the continent’s predisposed human and material resource potential, is able to ensure the fulfillment of these ambitions through its own institutions? In other words, can the African Union manage African crises with independent African means? This fundamental question calls for other more intermediate ...

    March 6, 2017
    La grande question qui interpelle les Africains, dans le domaine de la sauvegarde de la Paix et de la sécurité, reste celle de savoir si l’organisation panafricaine qui ambitionne de mener le continent vers la paix et la prospérité auxquelles le prédisposent ses potentialités de ressources humaines et matérielles, peut assurer la réalisation de ces ambitions avec ses propres institutions ? Autrement dit l’Union Africaine peut-elle gérer les crises africaines avec des moyens africain ...

    February 27, 2017
    Les liens du Maroc avec l’Afrique à travers différentes composantes n’ont jamais été rompus. Point n’est besoin de montrer leur enracinement dans l’histoire profonde. Mais les récents développements constituent un événement marquant et sans doute lourd de signification. Est-ce un élément de déclic, une victoire qui conclut un épisode diplomatique parmi d’autres, une normalisation, la réponse à des difficultés conjoncturelles, un booster, un point d’inflexion, un événement majeur ? ...

    Morocco's ties with Africa through various aspects have never been broken. There is no need to prove its roots within deep history. However, the recent developments constitute a major event of important significance. Is it a turning point, a victory that concludes a diplomatic episode among others, a normalization, a response to cyclical difficulties, a booster, an inflection point, or a major event? ...

    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. ...

    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 ...
