    Aged 24 in 2011, he was already Chief of staff for Daniel Scioli, the Governor of Buenos Aires - the most populated province of Argentina, counting for 40 % of the total population with 16 million inhabitants. His main challenge then was “to be young in a relevant position”. He had to fight to get recognized and accepted by his elder peers, and succeeded with “the support of the Governor, through hard work and careful analysis”, he recalls.

    For a second, the uniformed officer looked threatening. He followed me. When I reached the stairs leading to my Transavia flight to Paris, he stepped in front of me, asking, “Sir, may I talk to you for a second?” Did he suspect I was smuggling precious Islamic art or some cannabis, the popular Kif? “When are you returning to Marrakech,” the customs officer inquired. “In four days”, I replied. “Perfect,” was his reaction. “May I ask you to buy in a French pharmacy the drugs mentioned ...

    West Africa has always played an essential role in African geopolitics. Although less thought of than north, south and east Africa, because of their envied strategic openings into both the Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean, West African countries are transforming themselves into a major African hub. For Britain, the completion of Brexit heralds a new era in its contemporary history. In this framework, West Africa is a crucial region for the United Kingdom’s long-term strategic goal ...

    L’avènement de la quatrième Révolution industrielle et les mutations qu’elle implique dans le monde du travail nous obligent à nous intéresser à l’histoire de l’Organisation Internationale du Travail (OIT) et à s’interroger sur le devenir de ses apports en matière de protection des droits des travailleurs. C’est dans cette perspective que le Policy Center for the New South, en partenariat avec Geneva Institute et la Revue internationale de politique de développement, a organisé, le ...

    Le mouvement des femmes marocaines est issu de l’histoire récente de la société depuis la période précoloniale. La trame du débat autour de l’élaboration et de la réforme de la Moudawana, qui s’est imposé dans la vie politique marocaine depuis les premières années de l’indépendance jusqu’à nos jours, traduit, en fait, un processus amplifié et récurrent des enjeux autour du statut et du rôle de la femme dans la société marocaine qui remonte loin dans l’histoire. Produit moderne d’un ...

    Almost 25 years have passed since the fourth world conference on women in Beijing in 1995.

Also in 2019, France and Mexico agreed to host the Generation Equality Forum in 2020. This Forum, conv ...

    Le nouveau coronavirus est apparu en Chine et, jusqu’à début mars, s'est propagé dans plus de 90 pays. Le virus a fait son apparition au Maroc avec seulement deux cas importés connus, mais sans tests généralisés. Il est impossible de déterminer l'ampleur de sa propagation. On ne sait pas grand-chose sur le virus. Mais, ce que l'on sait déjà est extrêmement important pour les décideurs politiques qui tentent d'élaborer une réponse appropriée. Le Maroc pourrait être aussi exposé à l ...
