L’économie mondiale continue sur la voie d’une expansion régulière. Malgré la montée des tensions commerciales et géopolitiques et la perspective d'une hausse des taux directeurs, les marchés boursiers des pays avancés ont presque atteint leur sommet. Cependant, les crises économiques profondes en Argentine, en Turquie, au Venezuela, l’incertitude au Brésil et en Chine et d’autres événements moins importants ont provoqué une certaine nervosité chez les investisseurs et déclenché une série de dévaluations monétaires sur les marchés émergents. S'agit-il d'une répétition de la crise asiatique de la fin des années 90 ou s'agit-il seulement d'un incident passager? Compte tenu de l’importance croissante des marchés émergents, pourraient-ils faire dérailler l’expansion économique mondiale? Comment le Maroc et la région MENA seront-ils affectés?

Peacekeeping Operations across  Africa: Trends and Challenges

By invitation only

During the first two decades of the third millennium, the United Nations (UN) launched a peacekeeping reform process through reports, doctrines, initiatives, and institutional reforms. In the wake of this, Secretary-General António Guterres pledged to the Security Council on April 7, 2017 to improve United Nations Peacekeeping Operations (PKOs), confirming that UN action in this field was at a crossroads, because the PKOs "... often seem at bay, overwhelmed by the magnitude of their task".

After many decades of expansion, incomes and standards of living have never been better in many parts of the world. Yet, in the developed economies, there is anxiety over the loss of manufacturing jobs that once absorbed a large share of the labor force and created a middle class that formed the core of democracy. The vast majority of middle- income countries have not yet been able to make the transition to the high-income group despite decades of growth. Progress among low-income countries, particularly sub-Saharan African countries, in achieving productivity growth and structural transformation has been slow, and deindustrialization has occurred in some.
