Practical information
At the end of 2007 / begining of 2008, many "food riots" burst in several regions in the world. Sub-saharian Africa was particularly concerned. These anger manifestations, which were not only motived by the food issue, had the merit to draw the medias' attention to the more and more worrying problems of the African agricultures and the households' growing difficulty to eat. After the fallout of the major cereals rates on the world markets, these issues were forgotten. But no structural problem has been solved yet.

Assessing the Balance of Power between Europe and Russia
The evolving U.S. strategic posture and the intensification of the war in Ukraine are reshaping the security landscape in Europe. This context calls for a clear assessment of the balance of power between Europe and Russia.

The foundations of the post-1945 international order, long anchored by U.S. leadership, are shifting. Amid intensifying geopolitical rivalry, democratic backsliding, and strategic fatigue in Washington, the question arises: what if the United States no longer plays its pivotal role in international security? Simultaneously, the Global South is asserting new political and economic agency, complicating the old binaries of West vs. Rest. For Europe, this landscape is both a challenge and an inflection point.
