    COVID-19 is neither the end of civilization nor the beginning of enlightenment. The virus is revealing something though: the ignorance of some people, who are convinced by ideas of conspiracies and plots—for example that the virus emerged from secret laboratories in Wuhan, China, or Washington D.C. Or that Bill Gates, the billionaire Microsoft and internet pioneer, planted the coronavirus to earn money by selling vaccines. Or that 5G wireless networks are responsible for the deadly ...

    Mondialisation oblige, les frontières se trouveront en tête des préoccupations mondiales en temps de pandémie.

La circulation des personnes, fonction p ...

    La crise sanitaire du Covid-19 a montré plusieurs fragilités et limites du système économique mondial. En plus de son impact très négatif sur l’économie, cette crise a des impacts sociaux très inégaux et qui varient d’une couche sociale à une autre. Elle a un impact dévastateur sur les ménages pauvres qui n’ont pas suffisamment d’épargne et de ressources financières et ceux ayant des emplois vulnérables[1]. Si le télétravail est une option pour certains, ce n’est pas le cas pour plu ...

    الهزات التي تطرأ بين الحين والآخر في أي مجتمع، تقاس بها متانة مؤسسات الدولة والمجتمع على السواء في مواجهة الأزمات. وإذا عرفت مؤسسات الدولة استمرارية في تاريخ المغرب، فإن تفاعل المجتمع المغربي مع ظاهرة الأوبئة قد اختلف بمقدار اختلاف الظروف السياسية، من حيث تقاطع الوباء مع ضعف السلطة المركزية أو قوتها، وبارتباط الأوبئة والأمراض بالقحوط والمجاعات. وتحتضن الخزانة المغربية متونا عديدة ومتنوعة، سواء من حيث تعرضها للأمراض والأوبئة بطريقة مباشرة، أو بطريقة غير مباشرة. وبحكم موقع المغرب من ا ...

    April 15, 2020
    Moroccans, like the citizens of other democratic countries in times of peace, have learned to take for granted some fundamental rights, including the freedom of movement and assembly. In the attempt to contain the spread of COVID-19, it has suddenly become evident to them that the enjoyment of these rights can be limited. This paper enquires about the compatibility of the state of health emergency proclaimed by the government and approved by the parliament in March 23, 2020 with Mo ...

    As with the rest of the World, the impact of COVID-19 in Kenya has stretched beyond the sphere of healthcare and the spread of the actual virus, as economic development outcomes are expected to be seriously affected by the disruption caused both globally and locally. In fact, one of the working hypotheses of the impact of COVID-19 on African nations is that the substantive impact of the virus on livelihoods will occur less from health-related issues than the economic shock, disrupt ...
