Dans cette interview, nous accueillons Mme Ana Palacio, ancienne ministre espagnole des Affaires étrangères. Nous discutons des enjeux cruciaux de la dynamique internationale actuelle et des perspectives pour renforcer la collaboration entre les régions panatlantiques et le Sud global. L'amélioration des relations entre ces régions est désormais une priorité stratégique. Ce renforcement, qui pourrait se traduire par des initiatives dans divers domaines, est essentiel pour une coopération plus harmonieuse et bénéfique pour toutes les parties concernées.

AuthorsPatrick KabandaNovember 10, 2026Cultural trade is a dynamic engine for economic diversification in the New South. Despite decades of diversification rhetoric, however, this sector remains underrealized. Thus, many countries across Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia, and the Middle East are still commodity-dependent, even though the global creative economy has grown roughly eightfold since 2002, to surpass $2 trillion—that figure, moreover, does not even account for the nonmonetary benefits that merit co ...

AuthorsGiovanna RinaldoNovember 4, 2026Brazil’s presidential election, which concluded on October 25, 2026, was above all a digital battle.

The US–Iran war shows this imbalance very clearly. Its economic consequences have gone far beyond the battlefield and have disrupted energy markets, trade routes, food supplies, public finances and investment in the Gulf, Europe, Africa and Asia. The most striking feature of the conflict, however, is not only the size of the ...

AuthorsOctober 22, 2026Strategic 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 ...
