Le Sud dans les chaînes de valeurs mondiales

22
January 2021
Larabi Jaïdi, Mahmoud Arbouch

La question du « Sud dans les chaînes de valeurs mondiales » constitue une priorité stratégique pour l’ensemble des pays du Sud, en vue de leurs implications dans les dynamiques de délocalisation initiées par les pays du Nord depuis belle lurette. Une dynamique qui offre certainement au pays du Sud, une intéressante offre d’emplois qualifiés, une opportunité de transfert du savoir, et une chance pour opérer un véritable rattrapage technologique, mais qui reste aussi accompagnée de risques potentiels, associés à la dépendance de la conjoncture internationale, et la forte exposition aux chocs externes qui en résulte. Par ailleurs, la crise actuelle de la Covid-19 interpelle d’autant plus les pays du Sud, qui seront certainement invités à se repositionner dans les dynamiques de relocalisation qui se profilent à l’horizon.

    Pièce maîtresse dans la région euroméditerranéenne, le Maghreb est sollicité par l'Union européenne, et plus récemment par les Etats-Unis, dans le cadre d'une compétition entre ces deux pôles dans leur recherche d'une hégémonie économique. Plusieurs années après que l'Accord d'Association avec l'Europe est entré en vigueur, a-t-il permis une coopération économique, financière et sociale orientée vers une véritable accumulation du savoir-faire organisationnel et technologique ?

    Migrations et développement: l'enjeu environnemental et l'avenir des politiques migratoires
    Authors
    François Gemenne
    March 1, 2011
    This paper analyzes the future of migrations related to climate changes and environment degradations. He shows how the dominant public reasoning remains inappropriate for addressing these issues, because of the Western/Northern countries' misconception of the relation between migration and environmental changes, including the cultural and political biases these countries show in the solutions they propose. The discrepancy between public policies and the actual reality of climatic an ...

    Renewables and the Future of Geopolitics - Closed workshop

    The Policy Center for the New South and the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center are pleased to organize a close workshop under theme “Renewables and the Future of Geopolitics” on Monday, March 21, 2022, starting 09:00 am GMT+1. This workshop will address an increasingly salient topic that sits at the intersection between energy transition, interstate relations and global trade: how the penetration of renewable energy affects geopolitics. As the recently published article by Hatipoglu, Al Muhanna and Efird (2020) demonstrate, this topic relates to various issues of immediate interest to energy markets. For instance, electricity creates a new form of interdependency between states, where such trade also locks in carbon trade. E ...
