    L’écart entre filles et garçons en termes de scolarisation, au Maroc, a longtemps préoccupé tant les académiciens que les décideurs. En revanche, très peu d’études se sont penchées sur l’analyse de cet écart sous une toile de fond quantitative. Ce présent travail s’intéresse à l’écart genre en termes d’acquis scolaires en lecture. La finalité étant de mettre en exergue les facteurs influençant les différences de performance entre les genres ainsi que leur ampleur. Pour ce faire, une ...

    De nombreux auteurs tentent de décrypter le sens de la politique russe dans ses relations avec le monde d'aujourd’hui. Le mot d’Obama qualifiant la Russie de puissance régionale avait de quoi provoquer les élites politiques russes qui développent une autre image de la place de leur pays dans le monde d’aujourd’hui. Il se dégage bien un relatif consensus des élites russes sur la nécessaire grandeur de la Russie. De fait, on comprend à travers les derniers événements que se faire rec ...

    Après avoir enregistré des baisses considérables au cours de l'année 2015, les prix des matières premières non renouvelables ont repris de la vigueur sur les quatre premiers mois de l'année 2016 avec, à la clé, une question essentielle pour nombre de pays et d'acteurs économiques : novembre 2015 peut-il être considéré comme le point bas du cycle permettant de croire à une reprise, sinon soutenue, du moins durable des marchés ? L'hypothèse semble raisonnable, mais les développements ...

    Ethiopia is located at the heart of the Horn of Africa. Torn between its position within the Greater Middle East (Culcasi 2008, 128 and Fukuyama 2008, 206) from one side, and Sub Saharan Africa on the other, this East African state is landlocked in a region marked by intense and long-standing political strife and conflicts, and is directly exposed to regional insecurity and political volatility. Against this unstable background, successive regimes and governments in Addis Ababa have ...

    The importance of agricultural policy in terms of security, defense and sovereignty

    May 11, 2016
    Does agriculture indeed no longer have any place in national defense strategies? If the European and OECD examples encourage an affirmative answer, the counter-example comes from the United States of America, which considers agriculture and food issues as an integral part of national security. In the US defense doctrine, food security not only concerns the food industry, but it also concerns all areas of security. ...
