    L’actualité pétrolière très chargée de ces derniers mois a mis sur le devant de la scène une entité appelée OPEP+. Ce nom est aujourd’hui régulièrement cité par un grand nombre de médias dans des commentaires et analyses sur l’évolution du marché pétrolier mondial et des prix du pétrole. Il faut souligner d’emblée que l’OPEP+ n’est pas, comme on pourrait le croire, une organisation. L’OPEP (Organisation des pays exportateurs de pétrole), elle, est une véritable organisation avec un ...

    The ongoing war in the Tigray region of Ethiopia has resulted in the world’s worst humanitarian crisis in a decade. The escalating conflict has led to the death and displacement of thousands of civilians, raised ethnic tensions in Ethiopia, and caused a food crisis that could lead to widespread famine. Much can be said about this conflict—how it revolves around models of governance and conflicting visions of self-determination, and how its impact will be felt across the region. Here ...

    L’objet de ce document est d’effectuer le diagnostic stratégique de l’émergence de l’Afrique du Sud. Ce diagnostic de l’économie sud-africaine a été effectué en s’appuyant sur la théorie de l’émergence économique de Moubarack Lô (2017). Trois indices sont associés à cette théorie, correspondant, chacun, aux dimensions de l’émergence globale. L’Indice synthétique de l’Emergence économique (ISEME) mesure le niveau d’émergence économique atteint par un pays. L’indice composite des Levi ...

    De toutes les régions africaines, le Maghreb est de loin la région la moins intégrée, tant sur le plan politique qu’économique. Pourtant, elle réunit les éléments nécessaires pour créer un ensemble régional ; la proximité géographique, l’interdépendance économique et sociale et l’homogénéité cognitive, plus spécifiquement les similitudes des valeurs. Cette étude traite de la dynamique maghrébine durant l’année 2020, à travers l’analyse des enjeux et de leurs conséquences sur les per ...

    Pan-Africanism is a dream that never dies. A project of African politicians, united in a vision, as old as the settled Africa, which liberated itself from the shackles of colonialism: Africa for Africans, Afro Americans, or the dark skinned people of Cuba, or Haiti, African immigrants in Paris, or Rome, in step to rekindle hope, freedom, equality, cultural revival, to build a future, construct the foundations of a borderless continent, an Africa without tribal struggles, wars, or po ...

    La région nord-est du Mozambique, Cabo Delgado, est, depuis 2017, le théâtre d’une insurrection meurtrière, menée par un groupe, connu sous le nom de Ahlu Sunna Wal Jamaa et que la population locale dénomme « Al Shabab ». Considérée comme la plus pauvre du pays, cette région abrite une population à majorité musulmane et qui reste marginalisée dans les politiques publiques de développement du Gouvernement, malgré l’exploitation intensive des importantes ressources naturelles de son s ...

    La décarbonisation est un processus à long terme qui nécessite des investissements importants.

Dans la deuxième partie de la série de Policy Briefs sur la trajectoire de décarbonisation du Maroc, une mise à jour des scénarios de décarbonisation a été présentée. Elle révèle que les scénarios « Ambition accélérée » et « Dévelop ...

In 2020, ne ...
