Les relations entre l’Union européenne et le Royaume-Uni à l’aune des accords de Windsor

April 2023
Abdessalam Jaldi & Dominique Bocquet

Bruxelles et Londres ont amorcé un partenariat nouveau avec la conclusion des accords de Windsor qui définirent un nouveau statut juridique propre à l’Irlande du nord permettant d’éviter le rétablissement d’une frontière physique entre les deux Irlande, afin de ne pas fragiliser le processus de paix sur l’île amorcé par les accords du Vendredi Saint du 10 avril 1998 qui prévoit notamment un partage de pouvoir entre les deux communautés nationaliste et unioniste pour permettre l’auto-administration de la province britannique. L’accord de Windsor relance de même le partenariat euro-britannique. Ce dernier demeure toutefois tributaire des élections législatives britanniques de 2024 en mesure d’introduire une recomposition politique d’une ampleur inédite dans le paysage politique britannique pour la première fois depuis 2010. Nous avons posé la question à Dominique Bocquet, Senior Fellow au Policy Center for the New South, et Professeur à Science Po Paris.

    The European Elections of 2024 were marked by a significant surge in sovereigntist parties at the expense of liberals and greens, while moderate right and left-wing parties also made notable gains. Despite the substantial wins and losses during this election, no single bloc emerged with the overall majority of 361 seats in the European Parliament. The impression from the new political balances emerging from the 2024 elections is that the European People's Party, which won the electo ...

    Twenty-Four Hours June 23-24, 2023. Over those days, Russia, the sanctioned world power, was not destabilized by the nuclear enemy in Washington, but by one man, who made his wealth serving food to school children and soldiers. A caterer who attempted a revolution. A bald man, who apparently wore wigs during his days off, as the Russian secret police claimed to have discovered when they searched his home in St Petersburg. The photos of the wig-wearing Yevgeny Prigozhin were shown o ...
