Ce podcast est délivré par Victor Mangani. Les élections locales organisées en août 2016 en Afrique du Sud ont été largement commentées car le résultat s’est avéré inattendu et inédit. En effet, l’ANC, parti jusqu’alors ultra-majoritaire, a seulement obtenu 54% des voix, ce qui constitue sa plus faible performance électorale depuis les premières élections libres et démocratiques, en 1994. Cette « défaite » historique a notamment profité aux deux principaux partis d’opposition Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) et l’Alliance Démocratique (DA). Ce dernier parti se retrouve ainsi à la tête de quatre des huit municipalités métropolitaines sud-africaines (Le Cap, Pretoria, Johannesburg et Nelson Mandela Bay). Nous essaierons de comprendre les raisons de la lourde perte de suffrages subie par l’ANC, d’évaluer une potentielle alternance politique au sein du pays et de présenter les enjeux à venir pour l’ANC et pour l’Afrique du Sud.

    The evolving structure of international power—from the erosion of unipolarity to the emergence of multipolarity (though still susceptible to a scenario where multipolarity evolves into a new form of bipolarity)—is giving rise to various material and ideological factors that are steering global dynamics toward a new ‘regionalization of globalization’. The real opportunity lies in not just considering a new form of regionalism, but in focusing on the potential of a new kind of region: ...

    The road to decarbonizing the planet runs through the energy transition, which includes the shift from fossil-fueled cars to renewable energy vehicles. This automotive transition is unfolding as a true revolution in the industry. The evolution toward electric and hybrid vehicles has come in tandem with the ascent of Chinese producers. In the current context of geopolitical and technological rivalries, the automotive transition has been marked by an intense trade war, with implicati ...

    From a realist perspective, during a period of rising multipolarity, the Atlantic Basin can be identified as an emerging geostrategic region and a potential focal point of geostrategic competition, especially in the Southern Atlantic, raising the sub-basin’s strategic significance and its potential strategic autonomy. The liberal perspective – although its highest goal might be a global multilateral order – has embraced regionalism before, under the bipolar international regime of t ...

    In an era marked by shifting global dynamics, Africa and the Middle East are experiencing a profound transition from traditional geopolitics to a more nuanced geoeconomic framework. This evolution reflects the growing recognition that economic interests, rather than mere political allegiances, are driving international relations in these regions. The rise of emerging powers, particularly China and other Asian nations, has challenged the long-standing dominance of Western economies, ...

    La dissolution de l’Assemblée nationale par le président Emmanuel Macron, le 9 juin 2024, a marqué un moment décisif dans l’histoire politique contemporaine de la France.

Alors que la Constitution de 1958, avait été conçue pour garantir la stabilité d’un régime présidentiel fort, taillé par Michel Debré à la taille du général ...

    This paper was originally published in idos-research.de   The early 1960s can be regarded as the “Big Bang” for international cooperation and development policy. The US was pushing an international system to support developing countries, and in 1961, it established the US Agency for International Development (USAID). The same year saw the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) set up its Development Assistance Committee (DAC). Germany’s post-WWII engagement ...
