Practical information
The world economy is in upheaval and no one can escape. After more than a decade which celebrated the virtues and success of globalization, the crisis which opened in 2007 has brought much into question The world tends to become multipolar ; each region must redefine its international integration, this being particularly challenging for Maghreb countries. To answer this question, Ifri has launched a research programme, the so-called "Maghreb and its regional and international environment"
This conference organized by Ifri, in partnership with the Centre Marocain de Conjoncture, will bring together North African and European researchers and experts ; it will address various issues such as :
- Maghreb's experience and potential compared with other regions of the world;
- The increasing economical presence of China and India in the Maghreb countries;
- The economical relationship with Gulf countries and USA.
Economical forecast of Maghreb countries on Sub Saharan Africa will also be reviewed.

The world economy is being reordered. The certainties of the post-Cold War era, open trade, dollar centrality, predictable multilateral coordination, are giving way to a landscape shaped by rivalry between the United States and China, the weaponization of interdependence, and a scramble to secure supply chains, technologies and critical resources. What once looked like a stable architecture now appears fragile, contested, and in places actively being dismantled.
