Foreword

Donald Trump’s presidency became known for its “America First” ideology in the face of an increasingly belligerent China, with focus on the Indo-Pacific rising consistently in the eyes of world leaders.

What will Biden’s presidency mean for this highly contested region and how will China react to the same? And how will US’s China policies, largely built on bipartisan fears, proceed in coming four years?

Working Paper - TRUMP OU LA RÉSILIENCE DE LA SOUVERAINETÉ

Auteur:

Le débat en cours aux États-Unis, portant sur la sauvegarde de la démocratie et la criminalisation des incitations "anti-constitutionnels" de Trump est-elle appropriée, pertinente et instructive ?

Que signifie t-elle cette crise entre les deux Amériques qui s'affrontent à Washington et dans le monde?

Au dessous des motivations et des psychologies, nous assistons à un processus de collision tectonique entre deux traditions et deux images de la société et de l'économie.

Working Paper - LA GUERRE D'ANÉANTISSEMENT ET LA PAIX APPARENTE

Auteur: 
Irnerio SEMINATORE
Date de publication: 
4/1/2021

En rappelant que la guerre n'a pas un caractère moral et ne peut comporter en soi un caractère criminel, en disqualifiant d'avance et par le droit la figure de l'ennemi, la guerre d'anéantissement, en dehors de toute référence aux legs de la civilisation, se développe en dessous de la paix apparente, conformément au sens originel de la lutte et de sa fureur élémentaire. Elle se définit dans la dimension conjointe de l'affrontement guerrier et de la perspective d'anéantissement de l'adversaire.

Auteur: 
Giorgio Spagnol
Date de publication: 
21/11/2020

 

Foreword

Is the West really declining or what we’re actually seeing is a rebalancing, as the East reassumes the kind of economic significance its population size demands? Western countries have only really been in the ascendant for a handful of centuries, whereas countries like China and India have been economic juggernauts for most of their long histories with China being until the 16th century the world’s dominant economy.

Joe Biden has ultimately won but the election outcome has ultimately depended on a small number of states. The United States presidential elections were supposed to produce a sweeping victory for Joe Biden with November 3 supposed to be “judgment day” after four years of Donald Trump.

Foreword

The last time a peace deal in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) was made with Israel was in 1994, when King Hussein of Jordan (the same king who oversaw the attack of Israel in 1967 when Israel captured the West Bank and East Jerusalem) recognized the Jewish state. Before that, in 1979 Sadat, president of Egypt, had recognized for the first time a Jewish state.

Foreword

Is this the end of decades of a U.S. Policy - dating back almost five decades to President Nixon’s “Opening to China” - in which promoting Chinese economic growth became an American priority, until 1989, to counterbalance the Soviet Union, believing that modernization would foster a more liberal China on the global stage?

The 75th anniversary of the United Nations is an opportunity to reflect and look back on the UN’s history and take stock of its achievements and failures.
