Transatlantic Relations and dynamics between North and South in a Changing World

2024 will be the most important electoral year on record. While elections will be held in major countries of the South (including India, Indonesia, and South Africa, among others) and in Russia, the North Atlantic will also be home to noticeable contests. The U.S. and the EU have witnessed a surge in right-wing populism. How both powerhouses will fare in front of that challenge to liberal democracy as it was traditionally understood, and how it will shape their foreign policy and engagement with the rest of the world, are the topics of this conversation with Strahinja Matejic, Associate Director in the Office of the President at the Eurasia Group, and member of the ADEL 2022 cohort.

    Authors
    Henri-Louis Vedie
    April 25, 2017
    Chinese investors are increasingly interested in Africa. Some criticize them for privileging mining investments. A 2017 analysis of these investments shows that investments in mining have not been the only ones privileged by the Chinese operators. Many other sectors such as transport and energy have benefited from Chinese investments, much more so than the mining sector, for example. ...

    Reviving Multilateral Security Dialogue in the MENA: Finding the Hard, but Possible, Compromise
    Authors
    Emilliano Alessandri
    April 7, 2017
    While possible, prospects for repairing existing fractures through multilateral dialogue and compromise have become elusive as crises in the region persist. There are quite a few unfavorable conditions hindering the emergence of some form of multilateral security process: areas of hot conflict have widened in recent years making violence almost endemic in the region, in countries like Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Libya. The Middle East peace process is in a stalemate and already thin trus ...
  • Beyond the Ballot: Turkey’s Economy at the Crossroads
    Authors

    April 3, 2017
    Turkey has been approaching a crossroads for some time now. Soon enough it will have to choose a direction. On April 16, 2017 Turks will vote in a referendum on President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s proposed constitutional amendment that would shift the country’s power center from a parliamentary system to a presidential one.  If successful, not only would this further consolidate power in the executive’s hands—in this case Erdogan himself—but it would also pave the way for him to rema ...

    Chinese Investors in Ethiopia: The Perfect Match?
    Authors

    March 24, 2017
    Since the fall of the Derg regime in 1991, cordial relations have developed between China and Ethiopia, forming a positive political backdrop in front of which the two countries’ interests have increasingly converged. On the one hand, Ethiopia seeks to replicate the experience of East Asian countries such as Taiwan, Malaysia, or China and to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) in order to accelerate the development of its manufacturing capacities (in particular through an ambit ...

    Architecture Africaine de Paix et de Sécurité : Pertinence dans la conception et difficultés dans les réalisations
    Authors
    Abdelhak Bassou
    March 6, 2017
    La grande question qui interpelle les Africains, dans le domaine de la sauvegarde de la Paix et de la sécurité, reste celle de savoir si l’organisation panafricaine qui ambitionne de mener le continent vers la paix et la prospérité auxquelles le prédisposent ses potentialités de ressources humaines et matérielles, peut assurer la réalisation de ces ambitions avec ses propres institutions ? Autrement dit l’Union Africaine peut-elle gérer les crises africaines avec des moyens africain ...

    African Architecture for Peace and Security: Design relevance and achievement challenges
    Authors
    Abdelhak Bassou
    March 6, 2017
    The big question for Africans on safeguarding peace and security is whether the Pan-African organization, which aspires to lead the continent towards peace and prosperity and to which the continent’s predisposed human and material resource potential, is able to ensure the fulfillment of these ambitions through its own institutions? In other words, can the African Union manage African crises with independent African means? This fundamental question calls for other more intermediate ...

    Morocco’s great return to the African Union
    Authors
    Abdallah Saaf
    February 27, 2017
    Morocco's ties with Africa through various aspects have never been broken. There is no need to prove its roots within deep history. However, the recent developments constitute a major event of important significance. Is it a turning point, a victory that concludes a diplomatic episode among others, a normalization, a response to cyclical difficulties, a booster, an inflection point, or a major event? ...

    Les liens du Maroc avec l’Afrique à travers différentes composantes n’ont jamais été rompus. Point n’est besoin de montrer leur enracinement dans l’histoire profonde. Mais les récents développements constituent un événement marquant et sans doute lourd de signification. Est-ce un élément de déclic, une victoire qui conclut un épisode diplomatique parmi d’autres, une normalisation, la réponse à des difficultés conjoncturelles, un booster, un point d’inflexion, un événement majeur ? ...
