Dans un contexte épidémique qui s’étend et pénètre plus profondément dans les pays du Sahel, et compte tenu du manque d’infrastructures sanitaires, combiné à des ressources limitées, le virus menace de déstabiliser davantage cette région, qui est également confrontée à une grave crise humanitaire déclenchée par le conflit armé en cours.

Asia has lifted millions of people from poverty. It has also led the rebuilding of the world order, with China playing a significant role. As the centre of the 21st Century, there are many lessons to learn from Asia: a commitment to education, poverty reduction and economic stability.

Challenges and opportunities on the road to a Post-COVID-19 sustainable growth

Webinar (sur invitation)

Persistent poverty, economic decay and lack of opportunities are at the root of considerable discontent in declining and lagging-behind areas the world over. Poor development prospects and an increasing belief that these places have “no future” have led many of these so-called “places that don’t matter” to revolt against the status quo. The revolt has come via an unexpected source: the ballot-box, in a wave of political populism with strong territorial, rather than social foundations.

La crise du Covid-19 a dévoilé les transformations à l’oeuvre sur la scène internationale et son « ordre établi ». Si certaines étaient latentes, la pandémie a également eu des conséquences géopolitiques et géostratégiques importantes. Le monde occidental (pays du Nord) a semblé pendant un temps avoir perdu son monopole de la puissance, tandis que les prévisions catastrophistes sur la situation des pays en développement (du Sud) se sont régulièrement révélées erronées. Cette session abordera la question de l’écart entre le Nord et le Sud, entre l’Occident et le reste du monde, dans la gestion de cette triple crise à la fois sanitaire, économique et sociale.

The Policy Center for the New South has put together online AD Talks for 2020, adapting the format to the digital realm.
