    The global unemployment rate is expected to remain stable this year at about 5.7 percent and then decline in the coming years.

    Le sommet de l’OTAN à Varsovie : clair-obscur du retour à l’endiguement

    October 7, 2016
    La réunion des chefs d’État et de gouvernement des pays de l’OTAN à Varsovie constitue une étape importante de la transformation structurelle et fonctionnelle de l’Alliance atlantique et de l’OTAN. Le Communiqué final et les trois déclarations confirment le retour progressif à l’endiguement, à travers le renforcement de la dissuasion et la défense de l’Alliance, et la mise à distance de la menace asymétrique et hybride. Cette dynamique contribue à la centralité de la défense collect ...

Néanmoins, cet espace demeure très hétérogène avec des écarts importants entre les économies qu’il englobe. Les analyses menées dans ce Brief montrent également le manque de synchronisation du cycle économique entre les pays de la région mais surtout le faible degré d’intégration commerciale et financière de la partie africaine du bassin.

    The Atlantic basin holds a strategic place in the global economy given the systemic importance that the northern part of the region represents. However, this area remains very heterogeneous with significant differences between the economies within it. The analysis conducted in this policy brief also shows the lack of synchronization of the economic cycle among the countries in the region, and especially the low level of trade and financial integration of the African part of the basi ...

    The expression “green revolution” is controversial today; yet my own assessment is that, in spite of many valid criticisms, the Green Revolution was a major achievement for humankind: it made erroneous the Malthusian predictions of the 1960s and 70s that it would be impossible to provide enough food for a rapidly growing world population and that major humanitarian crises, including famines, would occur in several countries within a few years, particularly in South Asia. In a wider ...
