In this interview, with Mr.Carlos Alexandre Monteiro Reis, Head of the Rabat Programme Office, UNOCT, Morocco, we discuss the current efforts being undertaken to counteract the radicalization of extremist movements, as well as the need for enhanced cooperation to support impoverished and less educated regions. We explore the connection between extremism and socioeconomic conditions, examining how collaboration can effectively address and mitigate these phenomena.

December 23, 2015Global economic growth is likely to be a little better in 2016 than this year’s lackluster outcome. The ongoing slow recovery in the United States and Europe is likely to continue. However, weakness in China as well as several large emerging markets, and sluggishness of world trade, mean that risks are weighted on the downside of this forecast. Morocco, which is reliant on European markets, is a heavy importer of oil, and whose currency has devalued in effective terms, should find t ... -
December 22, 2015The geopolitical situation currently prevailing in the Mediterranean region is difficult and complex, notably due to the emergence of a new strategic equation raising fears about a new outbreak of violence. In this troubled context, Morocco, under the leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, has been engaged in a democratic process, based on an inclusive approach that he leads with faith and determination. The Mediterranean indeed retains a triple vocation of being an intercultural refer ... -
December 22, 2015La situation géopolitique prévalant actuellement dans le pourtour méditerranéen est difficile et complexe, en raison notamment, de l’apparition d’une nouvelle équation stratégique qui laisse craindre une nouvelle flambée de violence. Dans ce contexte perturbé, le Maroc, sous le leadership de SM le Roi Mohammed VI, s’est engagé dans un processus démocratique, fondé sur une approche inclusive qu’il mène avec foi et détermination. La Méditerranée conserve, certes, une triple vocation ... -
December 21, 2015Lors de la douzième rencontre du groupe de la stratégie méditerranéenne tenue à Turin en Décembre, l’échange entre les cultures a été évoqué comme levier de développement de la dimension humaine dans les questions méditerranéennes.

Il y a certes un problème de perception entr ... -

December 14, 2015La fin des stratégies d’intégration verticale constitue le corollaire naturel de la baisse durable du prix de la quasi-totalité des produits de base observée depuis de nombreux mois. S’il apparait encore prématuré d’affirmer avec précision quelles seront les conséquences de cette déconsolidation dans la chaine de valeur des matières premières, il est cependant probable que le rôle stratégique du négoce physique se renforce. Sous une telle hypothèse, les stratégies industrielles des ... -
December 14, 2015The end of supply chain is the natural corollary of the sustained price fall of virtually all commodities observed over the past many months. If it appears premature to state exactly what is the impact of this deconsolidation in the commodities value chain, it is believed that the strategic role of physical trading is strengthening. Under such circumstances, the industrial strategies of developing countries and commodity exporters may have to evolve and, in priority, foster optimizi ... -
December 8, 2015Trade negotiators rarely get to celebrate a victory. The United States, for example, has been negotiating over 15 bilateral free trade agreements, with none concluded since the Korea-US agreement was finalized at the end of 2010. This makes the recently finalized Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)agreement between the United States and 11 other countries all the more remarkable. But the TPP still faces major hurdles, not least a divisive ratification debate in the U.S. Congress, which ...
