The Nexus of Water-Energy-Food is at the center of climate change mitigation and adaptation. In fact, the many approaches for these sectors cannot be undertaken in isolation but it has to be included as part of a holistic model. Such a model would include all the different components related to water and energy, and be able to evaluate the impact on food security and agriculture production. Thus, food security and agriculture sustainability find its critical and complex footprint at the nexus of water, energy, food (WEF) and climate change in Morocco, and other regions of the world.

    L’objet de ce document est d’effectuer le diagnostic stratégique de l’émergence de l’Afrique du Sud.

Trois indices sont associés à cette théorie, correspondant, chacun, aux dimensions de l’émergence globale. L’Indice synthétique de l’Emergence économique (ISEME) mesure le niveau d’émergence économique atteint par un pays. L’indice composite des Levi ...

    De toutes les régions africaines, le Maghreb est de loin la région la moins intégrée, tant sur le plan politique qu’économique. Pourtant, elle réunit les éléments nécessaires pour créer un ensemble régional ; la proximité géographique, l’interdépendance économique et sociale et l’homogénéité cognitive, plus spécifiquement les similitudes des valeurs. Cette étude traite de la dynamique maghrébine durant l’année 2020, à travers l’analyse des enjeux et de leurs conséquences sur les per ...

    Cette étude concerne l'économie de la Turquie entre 1960 et 2020.

Entre 1960 et 2003, les taux de croissance et les taux d'inflation sont très irréguliers, parfois négatifs pour le taux de croissance, mais pouvant aussi dépasser ...
