    The African Union (AU) and the European Union (EU) have never struggled to list common areas of interest or set up thematic partnerships and joint initiatives. The persistent challenge however is translating these partnerships into impact for both blocs of nations, particularly where interests diverge, such as those related to migration and green transition. Fifteen years since the critical Lisbon summit and the Joint Africa-EU Strategy, the time to move is now. To make the partners ...

    In a country as stable as Germany, changes of Chancellor are a rarity. Angela Merkel stayed in power for sixteen years, as did Helmut Kohl in his time. The new three-party coalition (Social Democrats, Greens, Liberals) intends to shake up the country. How should Africa approach this new leadership? Can the new government bring momentum to Euro-African relations? Can Berlin bring about a clear understanding of Africa’s development issues and geopolitical subtleties? ...

    Le président français Emmanuel Macron a de grandes ambitions pour l'Union européenne. Sa doctrine est d'approfondir l'intégration politique de l'Union. Donner à l'Europe l'esprit et les moyens pour faire face aux bouleversements écologiques, sécuritaires, énergétiques et technologiques qui menacent la place de l'Union dans un monde en profondes ruptures. La présidence française du Conseil de l'Union européenne pour le premier semestre 2022 est pleine de défis, mais c'est l'occasion ...

    Dans un pays aussi stable que l’Allemagne, les changements de Chancelier sont rares. Angela Merkel est restée seize ans au pouvoir, tout comme en son temps Helmut Kohl. La nouvelle coalition à trois partis (sociaux-démocrates, verts, libéraux) entend faire bouger le pays. Comment l’Afrique doit-elle aborder le nouveau pouvoir ? Celui-ci peut-il insuffler de la dynamique aux relations euro-africaines ? Peut-on attendre de Berlin une appréhension fine des enjeux de développement et de ...

    Between January 2020 and June 2021, the world spent about US $16.5 trillion (18% of world GDP) to fight COVID-19, and this amount does not even include the most important losses such as deaths, mental health effects, restrictions on human freedom, and other nonmonetary suffering. Nearly 90% of this amount was spent by developed economies; the rest by emerging market and developing economies. Low-income countries spent just US $12.5 billion, or less than 0.0001% of the total. Moreove ...

    Bien qu’il soit assez largement passé inaperçu en France, l’accord signé le 3 décembre 2020 entre l’Union européenne (UE) et l’Organisation des États d’Afrique, des Caraïbes et du Pacifique (ACP) représente un virage important dans les relations anciennes entre l’UE et les pays du Sud. Cette dernière a développé une politique d’aide dès le Traité de Rome en 1957, a signé le premier accord de coopération en 1963 et est aujourd’hui souvent le premier bailleur de ces pays, notamment en ...
