    The United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (UN-ECLAC) defines regional integration as a “multidimensional process which may take the form of coordination, cooperation, convergence and deep integration initiatives and whose scope extends not only to economic and trade issues, but to political, social, cultural and environmental ones as well.” As an organizing principle, the concept of regional integration has been around for some time in various config ...

    Aged 24 in 2011, he was already Chief of staff for Daniel Scioli, the Governor of Buenos Aires - the most populated province of Argentina, counting for 40 % of the total population with 16 million inhabitants. His main challenge then was “to be young in a relevant position”. He had to fight to get recognized and accepted by his elder peers, and succeeded with “the support of the Governor, through hard work and careful analysis”, he recalls. He also remembers fondly one of his main ...

    For a second, the uniformed officer looked threatening. He followed me. When I reached the stairs leading to my Transavia flight to Paris, he stepped in front of me, asking, “Sir, may I talk to you for a second?” Did he suspect I was smuggling precious Islamic art or some cannabis, the popular Kif? “When are you returning to Marrakech,” the customs officer inquired. “In four days”, I replied. “Perfect,” was his reaction. “May I ask you to buy in a French pharmacy the drugs mentioned ...

    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 ...

    Le mouvement des femmes marocaines est issu de l’histoire récente de la société depuis la période précoloniale. La trame du débat autour de l’élaboration et de la réforme de la Moudawana, qui s’est imposé dans la vie politique marocaine depuis les premières années de l’indépendance jusqu’à nos jours, traduit, en fait, un processus amplifié et récurrent des enjeux autour du statut et du rôle de la femme dans la société marocaine qui remonte loin dans l’histoire.

    The Moroccan diaspora contributes in major ways to Morocco’s economic development. Moroccan migrants ease the country’s chronic unemployment and underemployment problems, send remittances, invest in the home country, and typically visit Morocco frequently as tourists. In addition to that migrants usually retain close links with Morocco, and help in less direct ways to forge trade and third-party investment links between Morocco and their host countries. Drawing on the relatively sma ...

    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, ...
