L"appartenance à un groupe ethnique constitue un facteur identitaire fort pour les Américains. Africains-américains, latinos ou asiatiques conservent des préférences politiques particulières, ce qui fait de chaque minorité une cible de choix pour les partis politiques. Comment ces derniers cherchent-ils à gagner leur confiance sur le long terme ? Quels sont les thèmes ou propositions particulières qui seront mis en avant à l"occasion des élections de mi-mandat en novembre prochain ?
Avec la participation de Cornell Belcher, président, Brillant Corners Research and Strategies, ancien sondeur pour le DNC et Barack Obama (2008) ; Karen Finney, political Consultant, ancienne directrice de la communication, Democratic National Committee, DNC ; Fredérick Douzet, maître de conférences, Institut français de géopolitique (Tbc).

Reinventing Coordination in an Age of Fragmentation
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.
