Une série d’élections présidentielles et législatives a eu lieu ces dernières semaines. Celles qui ont accaparé, à des degrés différents, l’attention des observateurs ont eu lieu en Afrique (Afrique du Sud, Sénégal, Mauritanie), en Europe (France et Royaume-Uni) et en Asie (Iran). Certaines élections vont certainement impacter l’échiquier politique interne plus que l’échiquier diplomatique. La […]

For at least the past four decades, the U.S. has considered Morocco one of its most reliable and credible models on the African continent. The international system is going through a difficult transition. The old paradigms that helped to understand the mechanisms of functioning of political, economic, social and cultural institutions no longer meet the […]

Et la France donc ! Pourquoi adopte-elle- un langage ambigu au sujet de la question duSahara ? Un peu d’histoire ne fait mal à personne. Tout d’abord, le stratagème de la conclusionde deux accords à la veille de l’indépendance du Maroc n’a pas fonctionné comme escompté. Les premiers à la Celle Saint-Cloud en novembre, 1955. Les deuxièmes à […]

Des commentaires à n’en point se retenir au sujet de la visite de Stéphane Séjourné, ministre français de l’Europe et des Affaires étrangères à Rabat, la semaine dernière.
