Un Tournant pour l’Economie Mondiale : L’Europe se réveille, l’Asie consolide sa position
February 21, 2018

2018 marque incontestablement un tournant dans l’évolution de l’économie mondiale. L’Europe, après avoir amorcé une sortie de crise en 2017, pourrait entrer dans une phase d’expansion durable notamment grâce à une augmentation structurelle de la production industrielle, et au projet réformiste et pro-européen porté par le couple franco-allemand. L’Asie, elle, confirme sa position de moteur incontournable de l’économie mondiale, avec trois pays passant en 2018 dans le top 5 des Nations (Chine, Japon et Inde). Ces évolutions transforment le système économique mondial, et nous interrogent, nous Marocains, Maghrébins, et Africains, sur notre capacité à négocier avec cet environnement en mutation.

    This paper takes a comparative look at Sudan, Morocco, and Algeria, at the rise of Nubian and Amazigh rights groups, and their attempts to redefine national identity. We examine: 1/ how Nubian rights groups have sparked what is being called a Kushite revival in Sudan, and are pushing for a change in educational policy and archaeological practice to engender a new historiography and national narrative; 2/ how Amazigh movements in Morocco and Algeria are similarly trying to expand con ...

There was “no doubt in my mind” that Saddam Hussein had a nuclear weapons program, and the invasion of Iraq was urgent and justified, because “the gravity of this ...

    If there is any silver lining to this COVID-19 pandemic, it is the realization of the importance of some of what we hold most dear: food security, and the foundations of hope. Food Security: Those of us who enjoy food security realize how much we depend on every link of the agri-food chain. For urbanites, a first sign that this chain is broken is empty shelves—supply shortages and panic buying. We suddenly appreciate the appeal of food self-sufficiency or food sovereignty: develop ...

    تم نشر هذا المقال في الأصل على موقع قناة الحرة يقول یووال نوح هراري إن نمو الذكاء الاصطناعي والتقنيات البيولوجية قد يؤدي إلى إنتاج طبقة من "رجال متفوقين" يحكمون العالم ويحولون باقي البشر إلى "طبقة غير نافعة" (كتاب 21 مسألة للقرن الـ 21). كما تنبأ بأن التقدم العلمي سوف يولد لامساواة غير مسبوقة في التاريخ داخل المجتمعات، لكن أيضا بين الأمم. سوف تزداد الهوة بين البلدان الصناعية التي تسيطر على التكنولوجيا وتلك المحرومة منها، بل سوف لن تردم لاحقا. لاحقا، جاء تصريح الرئيس الروسي فلاديم ...

    S'il y a un point positif dans cette pandémie de COVID-19, c'est la prise de conscience de l'importance de ce qui nous est le plus cher : la sécurité alimentaire et les fondements de l'espoir.
