    La vanille est un produit d’exportation phare de Madagascar qui dispose, pour cette matière première unique, d’un quasi-monopole mondial. Si les recettes d’exportation qui en découlent sont essentielles pour l’île Rouge, leur variabilité, conjuguée à celle d’autres produits, tels que le nickel, n’est pas sans poser d’importants problèmes macroéconomiques en raison de la faible diversification de sa balance commerciale.

    Faut-il se réjouir et/ou se féliciter de l’émergence, enfin, d’un accord annoncé autour du conflit libyen, dans un monde dont on nous dit que tout y est volatile, incertain, complexe et ambigu ? Ou, faut-il raison garder et attendre pour juger de la résilience des institutions nées des accords et du vote de Genève, face aux assauts de la Volatilité, de l’Incertitude, de la Complexité et de l’Ambiguïté ?
