Session 2 : Dé/mondialisation et sécurité économique face aux défis de la COVID-19

December 27, 2020

9ème édition des Dialogues Stratégiques : La démondialisation Depuis 2016, Le Policy Center for the New South et HEC Center for Geopolitics organisent chaque année deux éditions des « Dialogues Stratégiques ». Cette plateforme d’analyse et d’échange réunit des experts, des chercheurs provenant de différents think-tanks et du monde académique, des praticiens, ainsi que des décideurs politiques pour débattre des grandes questions géopolitiques et sécuritaires à l’échelle internationale, ainsi que des problématiques d’importance commune à la fois pour l’Europe et l’Afrique. Le cycle de séminaires a pour vocation d’offrir un environnement orienté vers les politiques publiques « policy-oriented », où les panélistes se réunissent dans un cadre interactif et constructif pour confronter et enrichir leurs analyses respectives. Cette collaboration est issue du partenariat tissé entre les deux centres de réflexion, en vue de favoriser le dialogue scientifique et multidisciplinaire et de contribuer à la production d’analyses pertinentes sur des problématiques politiques et majeures.
