This joint Bruegel-OCP Policy Center publication comprised of four policy contributions from researchers of both institutions is the result of the establishment of “Platform for Advanced & Emerging Economies Policy Dialogue.” The first edition of this continuous dialogue took place in Rabat on April 1st 2016 under the theme of “Seven Years after the Crisis: Intersecting Perspectives.”

In the first paper, “Youth Unemployment in the Mediterranean Region and its Long term Implications”, written by Nuria Boot, Karen E. Wilson and Guntram B. Wolff, the focus is on the correlation between youth unemployment in the Mediterranean region and the problems that this leads to in Europe as a whole.

The second paper, “Energy Across the Mediterranean: A call for Realism”, by Simone Tagliapietra and George Zachmann, advises the European Union to draw lessons from two decades of unproductive regional cooperation attempts.

Karim El Aynaoui, Uri Dadush, Karim El Mokri and Rim Berahab contributed with the paper “The Unmet Challenge of Interdependence in the EU-MENA space: A View from the South”. They examine bilateral relations between Europe and the Arab world, especially as they relate to trade, migration, investment, and energy.

    Authors
    Marie-Claire Aoun
    March 3, 2015
    Les fonds souverains sont souvent présentés comme un instrument efficace pour la gestion de la rente des hydrocarbures, permettant de réduire l’impact de la volatilité des revenus pétroliers ou gaziers sur l’économie, de dissocier les dépenses des revenus et de favoriser une gestion plus transparente de la rente. Avec l’envolée des cours du pétrole entre 2007 et 2014 et les réserves financières considérables accumulées par les pays producteurs d’hydrocarbures, la stratégie d’allocat ...

    Brazil after the 2014 Elections: A Bumpy Road Ahead
    Authors
    Sergio Fausto
    February 27, 2015
    Brazil’s future prospects, and ability to harness its advantages, will hinge on its own policy choices over the next few years. Yet the outlook for meaningful change is unclear. At present, Brazil is in a weaker position than four years ago, from both an economic and a foreign policy standpoint. Even in a scenario where Brazil’s economy gradually returns to the course it was on until 2008, no major strategic changes are likely to happen in Rousseff’s four-year term. ...
