Since the 1980s there has been a steady shift from West to East in the international system, economically, politically and culturally. Emerging markets in Asia have moved up the value chain of industrial production processes, while the share of Western industrialized countries in global gross domestic product has declined. Countries such as China and India are asserting themselves in security matters and seeking new avenues for investment flows and development co-operation. China’s expected shift from export-led growth to domestic consumption might further change patterns of trade and capital flows, and it is an open debate whether the growth dynamics of India might outstrip those of China.

    COVID-19 is neither the end of civilization nor the beginning of enlightenment. The virus is revealing something though: the ignorance of some people, who are convinced by ideas of conspiracies and plots—for example that the virus emerged from secret laboratories in Wuhan, China, or Washington D.C. Or that Bill Gates, the billionaire Microsoft and internet pioneer, planted the coronavirus to earn money by selling vaccines. Or that 5G wireless networks are responsible for the deadly ...

    Mondialisation oblige, les frontières se trouveront en tête des préoccupations mondiales en temps de pandémie. Un dilemme se pose entre : - D’une part, le souci, pour chaque pays, de se protéger contre la dissémination du virus provenant des pays les plus touchés ; - d’autre part, le souci de préserver l’ouverture aux autres Etats du monde, nécessaire à la survie de l’économie en raison de l’interdépendance accentuée par la mondialisation. La circulation des personnes, fonction p ...

    La crise sanitaire du Covid-19 a montré plusieurs fragilités et limites du système économique mondial. En plus de son impact très négatif sur l’économie, cette crise a des impacts sociaux très inégaux et qui varient d’une couche sociale à une autre. Elle a un impact dévastateur sur les ménages pauvres qui n’ont pas suffisamment d’épargne et de ressources financières et ceux ayant des emplois vulnérables[1]. Si le télétravail est une option pour certains, ce n’est pas le cas pour plu ...

    الهزات التي تطرأ بين الحين والآخر في أي مجتمع، تقاس بها متانة مؤسسات الدولة والمجتمع على السواء في مواجهة الأزمات. وإذا عرفت مؤسسات الدولة استمرارية في تاريخ المغرب، فإن تفاعل المجتمع المغربي مع ظاهرة الأوبئة قد اختلف بمقدار اختلاف الظروف السياسية، من حيث تقاطع الوباء مع ضعف السلطة المركزية أو قوتها، وبارتباط الأوبئة والأمراض بالقحوط والمجاعات. وتحتضن الخزانة المغربية متونا عديدة ومتنوعة، سواء من حيث تعرضها للأمراض والأوبئة بطريقة مباشرة، أو بطريقة غير مباشرة. وبحكم موقع المغرب من ا ...

    As with the rest of the World, the impact of COVID-19 in Kenya has stretched beyond the sphere of healthcare and the spread of the actual virus, as economic development outcomes are expected to be seriously affected by the disruption caused both globally and locally. In fact, one of the working hypotheses of the impact of COVID-19 on African nations is that the substantive impact of the virus on livelihoods will occur less from health-related issues than the economic shock, disrupt ...
