As Asia rises, the world liberal order is slowly cracking. Democracy – a universal goal for humankind – has also been failing in delivering better welfare to the populations. Western values have influenced the world for the last three hundred years. However, steadily, the West is becoming less relevant, and its values seem to be criticised and inappropriate to catapult the West into a more prominent role. What to expect? Can the West recover lost ground? Will Western values be resilient?

    Lors du Sommet de Lisbonne des 19 et 20 novembre 2010, l’Alliance atlantique a adopté son troisième concept stratégique post-bipolaire qui consacre le processus de transformation structurelle et fonctionnelle. La projection de puissance et la stabilisation des théâtres extérieurs sont les nouvelles missions qui viennent s’ajouter à la mission classique de la défense mutuelle. Dès lors, l’OTAN passe du rôle d’alliance défensive régionale à celui d’acteur international de sécurité et ...

    February 18, 2016
    Bien que les États-Unis soient moins présents en Afrique que la France, leurs politiques de sécurité sur le continent ont des objectifs souvent partagés et parfois poursuivis en commun. Si l’urgence des crises humanitaires a longtemps été au coeur des interventions étrangères, elle tend désormais à s’effacer au profit de la menace terroriste. L’émergence et l’expansion des groupes terroristes à caractère complexe, parfois rivaux les uns des autres, et se réclamant de l’islam radical ...
