2015 Ifri Center for Energy Annual Conference, Brussels
#IfriEnergy
The Ifri Center for Energy will host its annual conference on March 4th, 2015 in Brussels. While global energy markets are transitioning to sustainable systems and are confronted by declining oil prices, there is a greater need to align European policies with global energy trends. This year’s theme, “New Energy Frontiers,” is aimed at calling for an outwards look on energy issues in the European Union as a way to create more realistic and stable policies. The discussion will revolve around the question of how the European energy and climate policies can deliver effective results in light of geopolitical upheavals, technological developments and governance issues.

Les opinions publiques face au partage nucléaire
Depuis la fin de la Guerre froide, le nombre d'armes nucléaires américaines stationnées en Europe a été divisé par plus de soixante-dix, mais leur présence en Belgique, en Allemagne, en Italie, aux Pays-Bas et en Turquie demeure un pilier discret de la dissuasion otanienne. Ce dispositif de « partage nucléaire », central depuis les origines de l'Alliance, est régulièrement contesté par les opinions publiques, les partis politiques et la société civile européenne, sans pour autant être remis en cause par les gouvernements hôtes.
Au cœur des tempêtes. Présentation du Ramses 2027
Les références, les instruments qui nous servaient à penser le monde, à tenter de l’organiser, s’effacent l’un après l’autre. Comment les redessiner, les redéfinir ? L’Union européenne, inventée pour un autre temps, peut-elle encore jouer son rôle – et lequel ? Comment l’Amérique trumpienne se situe-t-elle sur l’échiquier mondial ? Et comment les nouvelles technologies bouleversent-elles à la fois la vie de nos sociétés et les conditions de leur coexistence internationale ?
