Brésil - Maghreb : Globalité nécessaire et enjeux économiques stratégiques
Authors

October 1, 2011

Les relations qu’entretient le Brésil avec les pays du Maghreb peuvent paraître paradoxales. D’un côté, l’Algérie, le Maroc et la Tunisie ne semblent pas représenter des priorités de la diplomatie brésilienne. D’un autre côté cependant, il n’est pas possible de conclure que ces pays ont été ignorés par le gouvernement du président Lula. Les trois font notamment partie des pays arabes acheteurs de matières premières à fort potentiel. Surtout, ils importent comme pourvoyeurs d’hydrocarbures historiquement non négligeables dans le cas de l’Algérie et comme fournisseurs de produits phosphatiques pour le Maroc et la Tunisie. Les relations avec les États maghrébins mettent en relief une caractéristique de la diplomatie brésilienne, celle de l’équidistance qui permet à leur pays de jouir d’une image extrarégionale généralement très favorable, ce qui facilite le rapprochement avec le Maghreb.

    This essay examines the implications of the new Trump administration’s ‘America First’ approach for multilateralism, particularly in the context of the Bretton Woods institutions and the World Trade Organization (WTO), and its consequences for the New South. The first Trump administration’s selective multilateralism, marked by the prioritization of U.S. interests over global cooperation, contributed to a more fragmented global order. This was seen in the administration’s withdrawal ...

Les politiques de la future Administration Trump seront évidemment très différentes de celles qu’aurait pu conduire une Administration Harris et de celles de l’Administration Biden depuis janvier 2021 et c’est aussi le cas pour les questions énergétiques. Mais une chose est sûre : que la prem ...

    The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is characterised by its diversity in political systems, economic conditions, and social structures. It is home to a mix of high-income countries such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, as well as low-income and conflict-affected states like Yemen and Iraq. This diversity creates a complex environment for think tanks. Political instability in some areas, coupled with economic uncertainty, presents a challenging landsca ...
