Depuis les années 1960s, la doctrine stratégique assiste à la montée en puissance progressive des armes dites « non-létales », d’abord comme concept, puis comme l’un des domaines des plus prometteurs de la prospective des technologies avancées. Dans cet article, les auteurs font une synthèse des armes « non- létales », accompagnée d’une réflexion pertinente sur l’hypothèse de la guerre propre. L’article apporte des éléments d’éclairage sur les caractéristiques techniques et juridiques, ainsi que sur leurs implications politiques et stratégiques.

    With India looking more towards Africa as a home for sustainable partners, it is also looking at diversifying the areas of collaboration with several African countries, especially with Morocco.
