Inflation in the country has reached an annual rate of 9.1 percent, the highest in four decades, driven by supply chain disruptions from pandemic lockdown and the war in Ukraine.  Eshe Nelson draws a sober assessment of the British economy left behind by Boris Johnson: ” Pri ...

    Rwanda is famous for its remarkable socio-economic performance after the ravages of the Genocide against the Tutsis and moderate Hutus in 1994. Under the leadership of President Paul Kagame, Rwanda has followed a state-led development model with stunning results. Despite these substantial accomplishments, Rwanda is still a low-income country with extensive poverty. Its agriculture is still of low productivity and highly vulnerable to climate change. Structural transformation has we ...

    L’Afrique représente environ 3 % du produit intérieur brut mondial. Il n’est donc pas surprenant que le poids du continent dans le secteur de l’énergie soit très faible, compte tenu des liens très étroits entre économie et énergie. Selon la dernière édition de la BP Statistical Review of World Energy, publiée en juin 2022 et portant sur l’année 2021, la part de l’Afrique dans la consommation mondiale d’énergie primaire était de 3,4 % l’an dernier (a) (b).

    Chinese economic figures released since August’s beginning have shown a slowdown in its growth. New Omicron coronavirus outbreaks in the context of the Covid-zero policy, the housing slump and heat waves have been, decelerating the economy’s pace. China’s current growth slowdown is an additional step in the trajectory of gradually declining rates that has accompanied the “great rebalancing” since the beginning of the 2010s.

    The rules he followed were his own. Made by Boris for Johnson. From his earliest days, Alexander Boris Johnson noted the BBC (July 7, 2022) “tended to believe rules were for other people.” When he worked as a journalist in Brussel’s decades ago, he unchained his phantasy and filed reports which were close to the truth but more often than not, just fake. “His route to No 10 Downing Street “, writes Jonathan Freedland in the “Guardian “(July 7, 2022), “was smoothed with lies.” Once, h ...

    Disruptions to global value chains (GVCs) – caused by conflicts, natural disasters, and accidents that close transport routes – and that affect specific regions or sectors, are not unusual.

Have GVCs become endemically more accident pr ...

    L’information constitue l’une des ressources les plus convoitées sur la planète, et invite à examiner la manière dont elle s’intègre en tant qu’objet de pouvoir et de domination dans les processus politiques, nationaux et internationaux. Les tensions autour de cette ressource s’expriment non seulement à travers les territoires directement contrôlés par les États mais aussi ceux disputés ou de compétition, y compris dans leur acceptation intangible comme pour le cyberespace.
