L’Union pour la Méditerranée (UpM) est une organisation intergouvernementale fondée en 2008 qui regroupe 43 pays. Basée sur une co-présidence entre les rives sud et nord de la mer Méditerranée, l’UpM qui se situe dans le prolongement du processus de Barcelone a pour principal objectif de promouvoir le dialogue et la coopération dans la région euro-méditerranéenne. Inspirée du processus communautaire européen et réunissant exclusivement les pays riverains de la Méditerranée dans l’objectif de construire un destin commun, son bilan parait assez mitigé, dans un monde en proie à d’importantes recompositions et reconfigurations. Nous avons posé la question à Abdelkader EL KHISSASSI, Secrétaire général adjoint de l’UpM.

    Developments in Venezuela since the presidential election of July 28, 2024, epitomize the fault lines of contemporary world politics. The elections failed to clarify the political situation in Venezuela. Instead, they complicated it. The official electoral authority declared Mr. Nicolás Maduro the official winner of the elections, with a narrow but comfortable margin, while the opposition also declared its candidate, Mr. Edmundo González Urrutia, the legitimate winner of the elect ...

    Si la réalité même de la transition énergétique est parfois questionnée, voire remise en cause (Fressoz, 2023), l’effet de report qu’elle crée sur les ressources minérales, mis en évidence par de nombreuses études prospectives, apparaît indiscutable. Plus de cuivre, de lithium, de nickel, de graphite ou de terres rares : telles sont les conditions non exhaustives permettant de soutenir le développement de l’électromobilité et des énergies renouvelables et, ainsi, de contribuer à la ...
