La verticale Afrique - Méditerranée - Europe dans le Triangle Stratégique Afrique - Europe -Amérique Latine
Authors
Fathallah Oualalou
May 28, 2018
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.

It explains why critical differences often occur between the initially formulated goals of a public policy and the final outputs after its implementation. This insight is extremely ...

    Le grand retour du Maroc à l’Union Africaine
    Authors

    February 27, 2017
    Les liens du Maroc avec l’Afrique à travers différentes composantes n’ont jamais été rompus. Point n’est besoin de montrer leur enracinement dans l’histoire profonde. Mais les récents développements constituent un événement marquant et sans doute lourd de signification. Est-ce un élément de déclic, une victoire qui conclut un épisode diplomatique parmi d’autres, une normalisation, la réponse à des difficultés conjoncturelles, un booster, un point d’inflexion, un événement majeur ? ...

    Morocco's ties with Africa through various aspects have never been broken. There is no need to prove its roots within deep history. However, the recent developments constitute a major event of important significance. Is it a turning point, a victory that concludes a diplomatic episode among others, a normalization, a response to cyclical difficulties, a booster, an inflection point, or a major event? ...

    The Mist of Central Bank Balance Sheets

    February 23, 2017
    Central banks of large advanced and many emerging market economies have recently gone through a period of extraordinary expansion of balance sheets and are all now possibly facing a transition to less abnormal times. However, the fact that one group is comprised by global reserve issuers and the other by bystanders receiving impacts of the former’s policies carries substantively different implications. Furthermore, using Brazil and the U.S. as examples, we also illustrate how the re ...

    This paper discusses the development of a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model with detailed specification for land use. The model considers two aspects of land use: land as a measure of production cost and land as a physical entity that can be used in a variety of ways. To analyze the economic effects of climate change, we integrated the CGE model and an econometric model. The results based on this model, which captures how land allocation responds to changes in temperature a ...

    Despite the sustained growth in the bilateral trade observed at the beginning of the Century, Moroccan – Brazilian economic relations are still going through what could be called the ‘shallow’ phase of relations between two middle-income countries. Trade is concentrated in a few products – those where both countries enjoy long lasting and natural comparative advantages – and face strong difficulties to diversify in terms of products and to upgrade towards more complex models of lin ...

    February 15, 2017
    During the last quarter of 2016, terrorism specialists were still busy with the issues of counter-radicalization, indoctrination, and the dangers of young recruits departing to tension hotbeds, when the question arose about the return to their countries of origin by those who have experienced war and acquired significant combat capabilities. For nearly the past decade, they have been flocking to Syria and Iraq from around the world. ...

    Au dernier trimestre de l’année 2016, les spécialistes du terrorisme étaient encore occupés par la contreradicalisation, l’endoctrinement et les dangers des départs des jeunes recrues vers les foyers de tension, alors que la question du retour chez eux commençait déjà à se poser, dans leurs pays d’origine, de ceux qui ont expérimenté la guerre et acquis d’importantes capacités de combat. Ils avaient dès les débuts de la deuxième décennie afflué en Syrie et en Irak de partout dans le ...

    Will America Trigger a Global Trade War?

    February 9, 2017
    The new Trump administration is openly protectionist. The President called for “America First” and for “Buy American, Hire American” in his inaugural speech and his subsequent actions dispelled any remaining doubt that he meant what he said during the election campaign. As promised, he has withdrawn from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, an agreement among twelve countries across three continents that took nearly 10 years to negotiate. He has threatened American companies that invest a ...

    Accumulation du capital et gains de productivite au Maroc
    Authors
    Taoufik Abbad
    February 3, 2017
    La réflexion développée dans cet ouvrage part d’un constat alarmant et pressant. Le processus continu et renforcé de l’accumulation du capital, dans lequel s’est engagé le Maroc depuis les années 2000, a permis certes de préserver la stabilité des équilibres fondamentaux et d’amortir les différents chocs exogènes, aussi bien internes qu’externes, mais il n’a pas permis d’insuffler un accroissement plus important des gains de productivité et d’accélérer la transformation de la base p ...
