Comment votent les Américaines ?
Are women going to vote massively for Hillary Clinton in 2016, the same way African-Americans voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012? This paper examines the different aspects of the gender gap in the US, social debates around women's issues and the way the Democratic candidate may approach the different segments of the American electorate.

On the Democratic side, Clinton should not face any serious rivalry.

Clinton nevertheless has to take into account a radicals' fringe susceptible to play up her in her own party. What is their capacity of nuisance on the American political scene?

For Europe, this landscape is both a challenge and an inflection point.
The future of space cooperation in the new strategic context
