    In January 2016 the Chinese Government issued its first “China's Arab Policy Paper”, in which it stated: “We will enhance exchanges of experts and scholars from the two sides and actively explore the establishment of a long-term China-Arab exchange mechanism of think tanks.” I think that this line implies three things. First, it implies that the Chinese Government pays great attention to think tanks’ roles in China-Arab cooperation in the form of government document on the eve of Pr ...

    L'expansion du phénomène terroriste en Afrique met la Chine devant un dilemme : rester fidèle à sa politique de noningérence dans les affaires intérieures des autres États, même si les citoyens et les intérêts chinois sont menacés ou; adopter une politique plus interventionniste pour sauvegarder ses investissements en Afrique même au prix de certaines corrections à apporter aux principes qui ont, jusqu'à aujourd'hui, sous-tendu sa politique extérieure. ...

    During the Lisbon Summit back in 2010, NATO adopted its third post-bipolar Strategic Concept acknowledging the structural and functional transformation process.

    Deux des plus grands producteurs d'hydrocarbures en Afrique, le Nigeria sur l'Atlantique et la Libye sur la Méditerranée font face aux deux groupes terroristes les plus violents sur le continent. Daech version libyenne et Boko Haram semblent avancer pour se rejoindre dans un espace constitué par trois Etats qui présentent des vulnérabilités favorables à l'extension du terrorisme.

Si l’urgence des crises humanitaires a longtemps été au coeur des interventions étrangères, elle tend désormais à s’effacer au profit de la menace terroriste.
