The EU and North Africa (EUISS, Oct. 2023)
This Chaillot Paper analyses the EU’s relations with five North African countries – Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia. In particular it focuses on how the fallout of the war in Ukraine as well as the ongoing migration crisis have affected relations. The volume addresses some of the perceived shortfalls in the current EU strategy towards these countries and identifies future areas of both tension and cooperation.
The five country-specific chapters examine the EU approach to each individual country and provide a range of policy recommendations for the EU’s foreign policy in North Africa. One aspect on which the authors agree is the need for the EU to pay more attention to its southern neighbourhood as its influence has diminished considerably in the region.
The different chapters and perspectives presented in this Chaillot Paper provide EU decision-makers with insights and recommendations for designing a better approach to the bloc’s southern neighbourhood, one that will enable Europe to regain its influence in this critical region.

US policy for China (FPA)
FPA Fellow Sarwar Kashmeris discusses China with Amb. Chas Freeman.
How is U.S. policy for China performing in the real world, to help America navigate these troubled geopolitical times. China seems to be moving into the cockpit to dominate geopolitics in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. And, in India, American objectives of adding India to America’s anti-China alliance seem to be imploding before they have even started. Where are U.S. strategists going wrong?
Chas Freeman is a former U.S. assistant secretary of defense, ambassador to Saudi Arabia, principal deputy assistant secretary of state for African affairs, chargé d’affaires a.i. at Bangkok and Beijing, acting US commissioner for refugee affairs, and director of program coordination and development at the U.S. Information Agency. Intriguingly He was the principal American interpreter during the late President Nixon’s path-breaking visit to China in 1972.
Ambassador Freeman is currently a visiting scholar at Brown University’s Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs. He is the author of five books and numerous articles on statecraft and the editor of the Encyclopedia Britannica article on “diplomacy.”

Le Haut-Karabakh après la victoire azérie en septembre (France24)
L’offensive victorieuse des forces azerbaïdjanaises au Haut-Karabakh, le 19 septembre, a provoqué l’exode de la presque totalité de la population arménienne qui y vivait – il ne resterait qu’une cinquantaine d’habitants sur place. Les quelque cent mille Arméniens qui ont fui sont désormais réfugiés en Arménie, craignant pour leur avenir. Le gouvernement autoproclamé du Haut-Karabakh a capitulé, après trente ans d’existence, rendant improbable un éventuel retour.
Comment ce territoire a-t-il pu tomber en seulement quelques jours ? Ce « nettoyage ethnique » que dénoncent les Arméniens est-il une première étape avant que l’Azerbaïdjan envahisse l’Arménie elle-même ? Dans cet épisode du podcast « L’Heure du Monde », Faustine Vincent, journaliste au service International du Monde, raconte ce tournant dans l’histoire de la région.
Un épisode de Garance Muñoz. Réalisation : Amandine Robillard. Présentation et rédaction en chef : Jean-Guillaume Santi.
