China’s Belt and Road – Towards Globalization with Chinese Characteristics?

Paris, France

In 2013, Chinese president Xi Jinping first unveiled his broad vision to develop regional connectivity and infrastructure across Eurasia that would later be officially named the Belt and Road Initiative (or yi dai yi lu, One Belt, One Road, or OBOR). The initiative has emerged as a central narrative of Xi’s foreign policy, and China has already committed an estimated $300 billion in financing for infrastructure projects such as roads, railways, ports, power plants and telecommunications hardware across Asia to the Middle East, Europe and Africa. Some estimate the figure could reach $1 trillion over the next decade. Moving beyond physical infrastructure, China hopes to make OBOR a catalyst for developing the so-called “five connectivities” to include infrastructure, finance, commerce, people-to-people exchanges and policy coordination – in effect taking on a more normative role in shaping the regional economic and social order. By now opening the initiative up to all countries and regions of the world, China is seemingly looking to develop OBOR into a broad-ranging platform for coordinating regional development and, possibly, global governance.

Exploring Brazilian and Moroccan Regional Strengths for a New South Atlantic Partnership

By invitation only,

Sao Paulo, Brazil

Analyzing the Brazilian position beyond frontiers is only relevant when first shedding the light on the main strategic fields that promote the country’s exclusive growth and development. Considered as a major global exporter, Brazil benefits from several high added value sectors that strongly contribute to the recent modest GDP recovery after the economic recession that started in 2014. Areas like agricultural commodities, mining, energy and aerospace industries are some perfect examples in this context.

Assessing and Redefining Policies towards Africa in a New Global Scenario: Intersecting Perspectives between Brazil and Morocco

Sao Paulo, Brazil

In the framework of the analytical partnership between the Center for Integration and Development Studies (CINDES) based in Brazil and OCP Policy Center in Morocco, intended at improving and deepening through research the economic relations between Brazil and Morocco and foster Brazil-Morocco cooperation in Sub-Saharan Africa, several research and policy papers have been written by economists and experts. In this context, seminars will be held in Brazil, on july 17th, in order to hold strategic discussions with key economic players from the two continents on the outcomes of the research projects. These Strategic Dialogues aim to be a platform for dialogue and exchange for key Brazilian and Moroccan stakeholders engaged in the development of the African continent, providing elements for discussion on the partnership perspectives between Brazil, Morocco and Africa. It also represents an opportunity to enhance and further these discussions between think tanks committed to bringing a contribution to analyzing regional and international geopolitical dynamics, and for private and public operators to draw from the analyses in order to make informative decisions and draft fact based integration and cooperation policies.

African Peace and Security Annual Conference - APSACO

African Union: What are the Possible Options for Strategic Autonomy ?

By invitation only,

OCP Policy Center, Rabat

The African Union (AU), since its creation, has taken a predominant and active role in matters related to the continent. It therefore took an active stance in the definition of the economic and political destiny of African nations. To enable it to play such a preponderant role, the Union counts on an original institutional framework, an African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) and a secretariat (commission) which serves as a boosting coordination body for the various common policies of member states. This institutional metamorphosis, makes perfect sense when analysed in the context of the desire to increase the strategic resilience and the pre-eminence of the African Union and sub-regional organizations, to setup of continental free trade zones, to boost the south-south cooperation and to increase the triangular cooperation and the institutionalization of international partnerships in the unique diplomatic agenda of the African Union.

Presentation - Call for Papers - Stability and Security in Africa : The Role of Hard and Soft Power

 Al Akhawayn University, Ifrane

Defining power is complex and ambiguous but understanding its elements and implications on national and foreign policies remains central to the study of international relations. Both ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ powers are employed to pursue political and strategic goals through military, economic, diplomatic and others ways of conquering hearts and minds, to create convincing incentives and exercise influence.
