La verticale Afrique - Méditerranée - Europe dans le Triangle Stratégique Afrique - Europe -Amérique Latine
Authors

Related topics: 

Pour reprendre l’initiative et se doter d’un nouveau souffle, l’Europe s’ouvrir sur ses proximités : proximité géographique avec la Méditerranée et l’Afrique, et la proximité culturelle avec l’Amérique Latine. C’est ainsi que peut s’élaborer un nouveau triangle stratégique, au sein duquel le Maroc, grâce à son statut avancé dans l’espace euro-méditerranéen et à son ouverture sur l’espace sub-saharien, a un rôle tout particulier à jouer. C’est ce que nous explique notre senior fellow Fethallah Oualalou dans cette note, qui reprend son intervention lors de la 7ème rencontre sur le triangle stratégique Amérique latine/Caraïbes-Europe-Afrique organisée par l’IPDAL à Lisbonne.

    Endowed with half of the world’s known oil and gas reserves, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region became – particularly during the second half of the twentieth century – a cornerstone of the global energy architecture (Yergin, 1991, 2011; Maugeri, 2006). This architecture is currently undergoing a structural transformation, prompted by two different forces: decarbonisation policies and technological developments. The adoption and quick entry into force of the Paris Agreem ...

    Les dynamiques économiques, politiques et géostratégiques actuelles, centrées sur les grands ensembles régionaux, annoncent une reconfiguration de l'ordre international dans lequel l'Afrique est appelée à jouer un rôle important et ce, à travers sa principale institution continentale qui est l'Union africaine (UA).
