This podcast is performed byHéctor Sánchez Margalef. Raval is a multicultural quarter in the center of Barcelona and CIDOB has a porject about integration and development in this area. Who represents those who are not allowed to vote? The Raval Project was born out of the realisation that a lot of public attention in the aftermath of the 2014 European elections was devoted to European citizens who chose not to vote. Fewer spoke of those who were unable to vote. This project decided to focus on those who could not participate in these elections even if they wanted to, i.e. third country nationals living in the EU.

    Parmi les questions débattues dans les milieux de la décision économique et de la réflexion académique, dans les pays du Nord comme dans les pays du Sud en développement, en ce moment d’arrêt économique et d’accélération de l’histoire, un thème a ressurgi avec force : celui du revenu universel de base, le transfert inconditionnel, sur une période donnée ou de façon permanente, d’un montant d’argent par l’État à tous les citoyens qui répondent à une série de critères d’éligibilité si ...

    La crise du Covid-19 ne cesse d’impacter les économies des pays du monde entier, aussi bien dans les pays développés que dans les pays en voie de développement. La situation serait plus délicate pour les pays pauvres. L’économie de ces pays est moins résiliente aux chocs et fortement tributaire des échanges commerciaux[1]. Les taux de chômage risquent de grimper et probablement pour une période assez longue. Les entreprises ayant pris des mesures pour arrêter totalement leurs activi ...

    Covid-19 has already put severe pressure on the global economy. Within four months since the first cases of coronavirus were confirmed in China in December of 2019, millions of people have lost their jobs worldwide due to the crisis and the imposed lockdown to prevent the spread of the virus. The forecasts are gloomy. According to the International Monetary Fund, the pandemic will trigger negative growth in over 170 countries and might therefore bring a worse economic recession than ...

    Dans cette période de catastrophe planétaire, le risque d'un nombre élevé de victimes en raison de la faiblesse des systèmes de santé de nombreux Etats africains, anglophones ou francophones, est plus qu’évident pour l’observateur averti. Les circonstances actuelles interdisent des commentaires évidemment superflus sur les infrastructures médicales, globalement défaillantes. Ces insuffisances sont connues et vécues au quotidien par les populations des diverses régions du continent, ...

    في وقت توجه فيه كل دول العالم تركيزها نحو الشأن الداخلي لمواجهة وباء فيروس “كورونا”، أكد العديد من الباحثين المغاربة والأجانب في الشأن الاقتصادي والسياسي على ضروة التفكير بطرق يستطيع من خلالها فاعلون خارجيون تقديم المساعدة للدول الفقيرة، “ويجب أن تتم الاستجابات في إفريقيا من خلال تنفيذ أفضل الممارسات فيما يتعلق بالتعاون الدولي”. وفي ذات السياق دعا الخبراء، وجلهم مسؤولون عن مراكز دراسات أوربية وإفريقية ذات صيت عالمي، من بينهم الخبير الاقتصادي المغربي كريم العيناوي، مدير مركز السياس ...

    Covid-19 should change global politics. The speed and scale of its transmission, and the severity of its impact is not, we know now, to our cost. As the virus rapidly tracks people vectors worldwide, the control of its impact is inextricably linked to the availability of resources and depth of governance. For these reasons, global leaders should focus on its impact among the most vulnerable, and in particular in Africa. Just three months ago, on 31 December 2019, Chinese authoriti ...

People can fall behind in terms of health, education, and living standards, with challenges including lack of access to drinking water, sanitation, adequate nutrition, or primary education. Those who are deprived of at least one third of the index’s components are classified as mult ...

    Almost 25 years have passed since the fourth world conference on women in Beijing in 1995. At that time, governments and women’s rights organizations adopted the Beijing Platform for Action to advance women’s rights globally. In November 2019, I attended the Paris Peace Forum panel discussion on ‘how to make the Generation Equality Forum of May-July 2020 a transformational moment’. Also in 2019, France and Mexico agreed to host the Generation Equality Forum in 2020. This Forum, conv ...

    When I think about women’s empowerment, I see it as a constant process of attaining milestones in our lives as individuals man and woman, and as society. When I think of women’s empowerment in the context of Morocco, a host of questions come to mind. First, how is the ‘Moroccan woman’? In other words, to what extent are Moroccan women seeking to empower themselves? Does empowerment, mean the same thing to every Moroccan woman? To what extent is it self-empowerment? And what are the ...
