Les camps de réfugiés et la guerre. Du sanctuaire à l'enfermement humanitaire ?
Accroche

Refugee and IDP camps, intended to protect civilians affected by conflicts and natural disasters, have an undeniable strategic importance, and their management can be critical for the resolution of crises.

Corps analyses

During the Cold War, camps - often located on the border between two states in conflict with each other - made ideal grounds for recruitment, resupply and propaganda. The strategic function of refugee camps has evolved in the past twenty years: although they still play a part in the prolongation of conflicts, they shelter fewer refugees and play a less prominent military role. While they used to be administered by guerillas, camps are now managed by humanitarian organizations - a change that raises a number of issues as regards their judicial and social responsibility for the organization and supplying of war economies.

The Hunt for Economic Security: The Role of Navies in Deterring Threats to the Maritime Economy

Date de publication

Accroche

The maritime domain is currently faced with a wide variety of threats, such as climate change, economic warfare, shadow fleet operations, protection of critical infrastructures, and illicit activities ranging from illegal fishing to piracy. Navies suffer from inherent limitations when deterring threats to the global maritime economy: their global presence and permanence limits their credibility in terms of deterrence, their focus usually set on immediate deterrence, implementing deterrence by punishment in and from the naval domain is difficult and costly.

The Franco-German Brigade and the Revival of European Defense

Date de publication
08 April 2025
Accroche

One thing has been clear since Donald Trump's return to the White House: the very existence of the European unification project is threatened. Unless it develops a sovereign defense policy to counter the war in Ukraine and the weakening of American security guarantees, the European Union will continue to see its internal cohesion and external attractiveness wane.
