ATLANTIC CURRENTS : UN RAPPORT ANNUEL SUR LES NOUVELLES TENDANCES ET PERSPECTIVES ENTOURANT L’ATLANTIQUE ELARGI
December 13, 2017

Le rapport Atlantic Currents 2017 sort en marge de la 6ème édition des Atlantic Dialogues, conférence de haut niveau organisée annuellement au Maroc par l’OCP Policy Center et ayant comme mission de promouvoir le dialogue transatlantique entre toutes les parties prenantes de cet espace géostratégique (Afrique, Caraïbes, Europe, Amérique latine et États-Unis), un dialogue devenu nécessité vu les changements rapides survenus de tous les côtés de l'Atlantique au cours des dernières années. La publication de l’Atlantic Currents sert de ce fait d’ancrage à la contribution analytique apportée par cette conférence. Le but étant de favoriser in fine une nouvelle construction géopolitique de cette région stratégique. En effet, OCP Policy Centre a toujours joué un rôle distingué dans la promotion du débat transatlantique dans toutes ses dimensions économiques, politiques et sécuritaires, repensant ainsi les enjeux de l’Atlantique, au Nord comme au Sud, et faisant toujours porter les points de vue du Sud dans le débat international. Les éditions 2017 des Atlantic et de l'Atlantic Currents ont accordé une attention particulière aux perspectives de développement de l’Afrique dans le contexte atlantique. Permettant à l’Afrique d’aborder sans complexes ses défis présents, dessiner d’autres perspectives et surtout, se donner les moyens de penser et d’agir à une échelle intercontinentale.
