    West Africa has always played an essential role in African geopolitics. Although less thought of than north, south and east Africa, because of their envied strategic openings into both the Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean, West African countries are transforming themselves into a major African hub. For Britain, the completion of Brexit heralds a new era in its contemporary history. In this framework, West Africa is a crucial region for the United Kingdom’s long-term strategic goal ...

    العولمة حاضرة بقوة، تطوقنا، تصنع العالم وتؤثر على حياة الناس يومياً وفي علاقتهم بالزمان و المكان. بعضهم ينتجوا ويفرضون من خلال ذلك مرجعيتهم، والجميع يستهلكوا، وكثير من الناس يتحملون عبئها. العولمة كانت عبر التاريخ مرتبطة بالفتوحات والهيمنة ولا تزال كذل ك . ولدت في أحضان الفتوحات الكبرى انطلاق اً من المتوسط الغربي عندما انطلق الإيبيريون عبر ا لمح يط الأطلسي ليصلوا إلى ما سمي بالعالم الجديد أي القارة الأمريكي ة . فكانت انطلاقتها عندما غادر البحارة البحار، خاصة البحر الأبيض المتوسط و ...

    L’avènement de la quatrième Révolution industrielle et les mutations qu’elle implique dans le monde du travail nous obligent à nous intéresser à l’histoire de l’Organisation Internationale du Travail (OIT) et à s’interroger sur le devenir de ses apports en matière de protection des droits des travailleurs. C’est dans cette perspective que le Policy Center for the New South, en partenariat avec Geneva Institute et la Revue internationale de politique de développement, a organisé, le ...
  • How can German Democracy be Protected Against a Swing to the Radical Right?
    Authors
    Helmut Sorge
    March 9, 2020
    Adolf Hitler envisaged a Germanic empire ruling the planet for 1000 years. History imposed another scenario: after 12 years in power, the delusional führer swallowed a deadly cyanide capsule and, to be absolutely certain, shot himself with his personal Walther pistol. It was April, 30, 1945. The surrender of the Nazi Reich was near. The dictator’s personal guard followed the führer’s orders even while their hero was turning cold and carried Hitler and his wife of one day, Eva Braun, ...

    La Mondialisation et nous prolonge les deux derniers ouvrages de l’auteur : La Crise économique et nous, 2009, (en arabe), et La Chine et nous, 2017. Il revient aux origines de cette mondialisation, dont le point de départ a été la Méditerranée occidentale et la conquête de la ville de Sebta par les Portugais en 1415, ouvrant la voie aux grandes découvertes et à l’émergence du capitalisme. L’évolution historique et analytique de la mondialisation l’a amené à s’interroger sur ses per ...

    Epidemics are hardly a novelty. They have been shaping, mapping, and fundamentally altering human history from time immemorial. Exposing national vulnerabilities and feeding off poverty and insecurity, diseases have consistently threatened human and homeland security. Paradoxically, while globalization has helped concentrate global scientific efforts and disseminate ever more rapidly technologies and knowledge production, it has also significantly increased global interconnectednes ...

    Authors
    Mohammed Loulichki
    February 20, 2020
    Le lancement et la conduite de toute négociation ne dépendent pas seulement des positions des parties, de leur volonté de faire des concessions et, éventuellement, du talent du médiateur. De la même manière qu’ils ne dépendent pas, uniquement, du règlement des questions de procédure et de l’adoption d’arrangements techniques destinés à contourner les objections préalables des parties, à ménager leurs sensibilités et à leur faire accepter un code de conduite adapté à chaque phase des ...

    Stakes and symbolism of the "Round Table" in the settlement of international conflicts: the cases of Vietnam and the Sahara
    Authors
    Mohammed Loulichki
    February 20, 2020
    The initiation and conduct of any negotiation are not solely dependent on the positions of parties, their willingness to make concessions and, possibly, the mediator's talent. Similarly, they do not merely hinge on the settlement of procedural issues and the adoption of technical arrangements designed to circumvent the parties' prior objections, to accommodate their sensitivities and to secure their acceptance of a code of conduct suited to each phase of the negotiations. Such techn ...

He’s not only the epitomy of an Atlantic young leader – the way the Policy Center for the New South defines them – but now also a member of the 2019 ADEL cohort Alumni. In January 2020 he transitioned as Head of Public Policy for Sub-Saharan Africa at Twitter. At this strategic position, he works for one of the most influential social media networ ...
