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.

    La propagation planétaire de la pandémie Covid-19 a eu un impact humain élevé, principalement aux Etats-Unis et en Europe. Pour le moment, l’Afrique semble relativement moins affectée, à en juger par le nombre relativement réduit des personnes contaminées et des décès. A l’appui de ce constat, plusieurs explications ont été avancées, allant du climat chaud à une immunité acquise des épreuves sanitaires antérieures, en passant par des traitements miracles traditionnels. Dans leur ges ...

    Confronted with surging unemployment and miles long lines at food banks across the United States, most states have begun reopening the economy. Many of these states are seeing rising numbers of new cases and face a real risk of relapsing into an uncontrolled pandemic. To avoid this outcome, they must adopt a strategy that entails testing, tracing, and isolation of the infected, with priority given to groups and places where the medical impact – reducing infections and saving lives – ...

    The worldwide spread of the Covid-19 pandemic has had a severe human impact, mainly in the United States and Europe. For the time being, Africa seems to be less affected, based on the relatively small number of infected people and deaths. Several explanations have been put forward to support this finding, ranging from hot climates to acquired immunity from previous health challenges to traditional miracle cures. In their management of the new epidemic, African countries must logical ...

    L’objectif de cet article est de chercher à mettre en perspective les réactions de la République populaire de Chine et de la République islamique d’Iran face à la crise sanitaire provoquée par le nouveau coronavirus (Covid-19) avec l’histoire politique et moderne de ces pays, les modalités de leur construction étatique et de leur insertion dans l’ordre international. Régimes autoritaires dont la rhétorique et la légitimation se construisent autour d’une manière de nationalisme assoc ...
  • Prix du pétrole : pour les producteurs, le plus dur est-il passé ?

    Francis Perrin
    May 12, 2020
    Les 20 et 21 avril 2020, sur le New York Mercantile Exchange (Nymex), les prix du West Texas Intermediate (WTI) pour le contrat de mai 2020 sont tombés largement en dessous de zéro. Ces prix négatifs – un concept quelque peu difficile à appréhender – ont montré, de façon spectaculaire, à quel point la pandémie du Covid-19 a un impact considérable sur le marché pétrolier mondial. Il convient, cependant, de relativiser ces prix négatifs qui portaient sur une qualité de pétrole (le WT ...

    May 12, 2020
    It is still too early to assess the extent of the Coronavirus pandemic in Africa, but everything seems to suggest that it will have a major impact on already vulnerable health systems – from prevention to the management of patients. Various forms of resilience are being tested with pejorative effects, especially against the very poor, who are less prepared to observe the protection measures and more exposed in their daily lives. However, lessons can be learned from past epidemic exp ...

    Analysts are trying to understand why the COVID-19 pandemic is progressing in Africa at a much slower rate than expected. According to one report, the continent had by the beginning of May seen 37,000 infection cases and 1600 fatalities, compared to the rest of the world, which has 3.2 million cases and 228,000 deaths1. Various explanations have been proffered to explain this disparity: Africa’s warm climate, the youthfulness of the continent’s population (60% of the population is u ...
