    Covid-19 should change global politics. The speed and scale of its transmission, and the severity of its impact is not, we know now, to our cost. As the virus rapidly tracks people vectors worldwide, the control of its impact is inextricably linked to the availability of resources and depth of governance. For these reasons, global leaders should focus on its impact among the most vulnerable, and in particular in Africa. Just three months ago, on 31 December 2019, Chinese authoritie ...

Il virus si diffonde rapidamente nel mondo, passando da persona a persona, e il contenimento delle sue conseguenze è indissolubilmente legato alla disponibilità di risorse e al buon funzionamento dei meccanismi di governance.

    Le monde : ‘’Une société de crise’’ La multiplication de catastrophes naturelles et la montée de leur probabilité d’occurrence, la répétition des crises de tous genres (économiques, politiques, sociales et sécuritaires) et l’interdépendance accrue, du fait de la mondialisation, ont mis au premier plan le facteur de la résilience[1].
