Mutations politiques comparées au Maghreb et au Machrek, sept ans après le "Printemps Arabe"
June 27, 2018

Suite aux récents développements dans la région MENA caractérisés par le désarroi, des guerres civiles, et des performances économiques affaiblies, l’OCP Policy Center a publié un ouvrage collectif relatant les développements depuis l’avènement du «  Printemps arabe ». Intitulé « Mutations Politiques Comparées au Machrek et au Maghreb sept ans après le ‘’Printemps arabe’’ », ce livre a été entrepris par le Professeur Abdallah Saaf, Senior Fellow à OCP Policy Center à l’occasion d’une conférence tenue en décembre 2016. Les auteurs, de différents horizons, se relaient, en livrant, chacun, sous l’angle de sa propre expertise, une réflexion thématique spécifique sur la région. Ce Policy Brief traite du ‘’Printemps arabe’’ dans sa pertinence pour comprendre les évènements caractérisant la région MENA aujourd’hui. Il s’articule autour de deux parties. La première, dresse le tableau des vagues de protestation qui ont démarré en 2011 et, la seconde, décline les différents chapitres de l’ouvrage.

    How do you treat a brutal dictator who had lost power after 42 years, hiding in a drainpipe, after his convoy was attacked by fighter jets from the air?

Triumphantly his assassin raised Gaddafi’s golden revolver -- a few minutes of global fam ...

    The Taliban takeover of Kabul on August 16, 2021, and the ensuing Afghan regime collapse in face of the Islamists, sent a global shockwave that for a time obscured the country's economic woes during US occupation. This paper examines the situation and implications for the Afghan economy of Taliban rule. U.S. presence was to put it mildly, barely beneficial to the Afghan economy, whose misleading results stem primarily from International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank (WB) and weste ...

Pascal Chaigneau s’attarde sur les relations affaiblies Europe-Afrique, l’ambitieuse relation Chine-Afrique ainsi que les relations entre la Russie, les Etats-Unis, la Turquie ou encore les pays du Golf et l’Afrique.

    The democratic transition in Libya may be in peril because of an escalating, multidimensional crisis in the country. The crisis’ internationalized nature has undermined domestic stability, with many countries vying for influence and the spoils of war. These rivalries have seeped into an election process that was originally envisaged to be a method for attaining legitimacy. Instead, it is in danger of being hijacked, which would consolidate division and increase the risks of relapse ...
