APSACO 2021 - Présentation du rapport sur la géopolitique de l'Afrique / MOT DE CLÔTURE

June 23, 2021

Le Policy Center for the New South lance la quatrième édition du rapport annuel sur la géopolitique de l'Afrique. Cette nouvelle édition se concentrera sur la situation socio-politique et sécuritaire du continent en 2020. Le travail rétrospectif consacré cette année à l'Afrique vise non seulement à retracer les faits marquants des années précédentes, mais aussi à déceler les tendances et les signes de faiblesse au moyen d'analyses diverses, le but étant de prévoir les développements futurs sur le continent. Ce rapport donne la parole à des auteurs africains pour qu'ils développent un narratif africain sur les affaires du continent. La publication n'a pas pour but d'embellir artificiellement l'Afrique, mais a pour ambition de décrire l'Afrique telle qu'elle est, avec ses revers, tout comme ses progrès, ses ambitions et ses opportunités. Le rapport s'inscrit dans la vision du Policy Center d'un nouveau Sud ; un Sud conscient de ses limites et de ses vulnérabilités, mais fort de son potentiel, de ses moyens et de son génie. Cette vision préconise également un positionnement du Sud dans un monde en constante évolution.

    The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is a regional organization which was created in 1981, reassembling six Arab countries together: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Thanks to their oil income, GCC countries have enjoyed economic boom since 2002, hence breaking with the 1990s economic slow-down. The year 2002 corresponds to the oil prices’ entry in an upward spiral which has resulted in an increase of both income and foreign assets. This ...

    The industrial revolution underwent by Europe in the 18th century has triggered the need for the major colonial powers to find new markets for their manufactured products. It is in this colonial competitive framework that European explorers delivered information about the different access roads, as well as the Tuareg tribes, notably the Kel Ajjer and the Kel Ahaggar. ...

    The Policy Center for the New South and the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center are pleased to organize a close workshop under theme “Renewables and the Future of Geopolitics” on Monday, March 21, 2022, starting 09:00 am GMT+1. This workshop will address an increasingly salient topic that sits at the intersection between energy transition, interstate relations and global trade: how the penetration of renewable energy affects geopolitics. As the recently published article by Hatipoglu, Al Muhanna and Efird (2020) demonstrate, this topic relates to various issues of immediate interest to energy markets. For instance, electricity creates a new form of interdependency between states, where such trade also locks in carbon trade. Energy transition also rests on glob ...

Current threats are posed by the illicit transfer, destabilizing accumulation, and misuse of arms, as well as the flow of armed groups and mercenaries. Despite considerable international efforts, especially by African countries, the Sahel is still experiencing one of the ...
