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

January 19, 2024

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.

A l’appui de ce constat, plusieurs explications ont été avancées, allant du climat chaud à une immunité acquise des épreuves sanitaires antérieures, en passant par des traitements miracles traditionnels.

    The worldwide spread of the Covid-19 pandemic has had a severe human impact, mainly in the United States and Europe. For the time being, Africa seems to be less affected, based on the relatively small number of infected people and deaths. Several explanations have been put forward to support this finding, ranging from hot climates to acquired immunity from previous health challenges to traditional miracle cures. In their management of the new epidemic, African countries must logical ...

    L’objectif de cet article est de chercher à mettre en perspective les réactions de la République populaire de Chine et de la République islamique d’Iran face à la crise sanitaire provoquée par le nouveau coronavirus (Covid-19) avec l’histoire politique et moderne de ces pays, les modalités de leur construction étatique et de leur insertion dans l’ordre international. Régimes autoritaires dont la rhétorique et la légitimation se construisent autour d’une manière de nationalisme assoc ...

     اليقينيات و فضحت خال أسابيع محدودة مدى هشاشة الانسان في محطة متقدمة من العولمة من خال حدة الصدمة الاقتصادية التي أفرزتها عالميا. و رغم اننا ما نزال غير متحكمين في الخروج من هذه الأزمة الصحية فإن كل الملاحظين يتفقون على أن مسار العولمة سيتأثر حتما بعواقبها نتيجة الانخراط العالمي في الحجر الصحي الذي فرض نفسه كظاهرة معولمة. ذلك انهم يتفقون على ان هذه الأزمة ستؤدي مستقبلا لمراجعات عميقة للتدبير الاقتصادي و للسياسات العمومية بل للمنظومات السياسية و المجتمعية و للعلاقات الدولية بين .الأق ...

    In the field of health, important results have been achieved on the African continent as shown by recent data in terms of life expectancy and the availability of treatment for the major causes of morbidity. In spite of this, the recent episode of the Ebola epidemic, which required the mobilization of substantial human and financial resources, but above all international aid, shows that health systems remain vulnerable to major shocks. The current context of the Covid-19 pandemic poi ...

According to one report, the continent had by the beginning of May seen 37,000 infection cases and 1600 fatalities, compared to the rest of the world, which has 3.2 million cases and 228,000 deaths1. Various explanations have been proffered to explain this disparity: Africa’s warm climate, the youthfulness of the continent’s population (60% of the population is u ...

    Dans le domaine de la santé, des résultats importants ont été obtenus sur le continent africain comme le montrent les données récentes en termes d’espérance de vie et de la disponibilité des traitements contre les grandes causes de morbidité. Malgré cela, l’épisode récent de l’épidémie d’Ebola, qui a nécessité la mobilisation de moyens humains et financiers conséquents mais surtout de l’aide internationale, montre que les systèmes de santé restent vulnérables à des chocs de grande a ...
