By encompassing the subnational perspective in the case study of an ...

    La crise sanitaire de la Covid-19 a mis en exergue les limites de la société-monde.

    For the last 70 years, the social order in Europe has been based on the concept and practice of inter-generational solidarity.

    L’Afrique a perdu 70 % de ses arrivées touristiques en 2020, selon le dernier baromètre de l’Organisation mondiale du tourisme (OMT), soit un peu moins que la moyenne mondiale (74 %).

Les Seychelles ont perdu 71 % de leurs visiteurs en 2020, avec 114 850 arrivées contre 384 000 en 2019, et 61 % de leurs revenus touristiques. Lourde perte, dans la mesur ...

The global pandemic triggered major economic dislocations and contractions in foreign and domestic markets, which further exacerbated the fall in demand for oil, sending world prices tumbling further. Poverty was already widespread in Brazil pre-pandemic. And despite recen ...
