Alors que l’ordre mondial bascule vers un système multipolaire, l’Afrique se trouve face à un tournant décisif. Comment éviter la marginalisation et tirer parti de ses atouts stratégiques ? Entre partenariats concurrentiels des grandes puissances, montée du Sud global et élargissement des BRICS, le continent doit trouver un équilibre entre autonomie stratégique et intégration dans de nouvelles alliances. Cet épisode met en lumière les stratégies politiques et diplomatiques qui permettraient à l’Afrique de renforcer sa voix dans les grandes négociations internationales, qu’il s’agisse de climat, de sécurité ou de gouvernance numérique.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) described this decline in ODA to Africa as “a shock like no other.” It differ ... -
September 23, 2026Since around 2010, it has been known that the Eastern Mediterranean is a new gas province. Gas resources have indeed been discovered offshore four countries or territories: Egypt, Israel, Cyprus and Gaza. Two of them have become producers and exporters of natural gas, Egypt and Israel. Off the coast of Gaza, the Gaza Marine gas field has never been developed, and it is highly unlikely to be developed anytime soon given the very high tensions between the State of Israel and Hamas.

Des ressources gazières ont en effet été découvertes au large de quatre pays ou territoires, l’Égypte, Israël, Chypre et Gaza. Deux d’entre eux sont devenus producteurs et exportateurs de gaz naturel, l’Égypte et Israël.

September 17, 2026Various competing cross-border payment networks have become vehicles for geopolitical competition. As tensions have risen, many countries want to secure access to cross-border payment systems by joining with like-minded countries to form interoperable networks, either via tokenization or Instant Payment Systems (IPSs). Three major projects are under development, serving the strategic interests of the US, China and the Rest of the World—corresponding to the three trading spheres taki ... -

September 4, 2026This Paper was originally published on cgdev.org. Escalatory attacks on multilateral rules and institutions in this era of raw power politics have plunged international politics into uncharted territory. Traditional alliances have been fractured and new partnerships between unlikely bedfellows are emerging. No longer in transition, the post-World War II world order is in rupture. This paper examines international cooperation under these conditions and argues that a new "flexi-l ...
