Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: À l'heure où l'Union européenne s'élargit au centre et à l'est du continent, ses relations avec la Russie paraissent plus que jamais correspondre au triptyque «intégration impossible, confrontation improbable, coopération nécessaire». Si l'adhésion de la Russie à l'Union européenne ne peut s'envisager, des formules de bon voisinage se mettent toutefois en place et atténuent les conséquences de l'impossibilité d'une intégration complète. Depuis l'inauguration, le 12 septembre 2001, d'un nouvel ?ge de la sécurité qui voit les deux partenaires s'accorder sur l'identification des menaces, la confrontation est moins que jamais à l'ordre du jour et la coopération, libérée des inhibitions d'un passé assurément révolu, s'impose comme un incontournable horizon. Dans cette optique, le présent ouvrage entend pourvoir, par l'étude des aspects politiques, sécuritaires et économiques de la relation euro-russe, à une meilleure connaissance des ressorts d'une politique étrangère russe dont les implications pour l'Europe s'avèrent déterminantes.
Download or read book EU Russia energy relations written by Böhme, Dimo and published by Universitätsverlag Potsdam. This book was released on 2014-10-09 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public debate about energy relations between the EU and Russia is distorted. These distortions present considerable obstacles to the development of true partnership. At the core of the conflict is a struggle for resource rents between energy producing, energy consuming and transit countries. Supposed secondary aspects, however, are also of great importance. They comprise of geopolitics, market access, economic development and state sovereignty. The European Union, having engaged in energy market liberalisation, faces a widening gap between declining domestic resources and continuously growing energy demand. Diverse interests inside the EU prevent the definition of a coherent and respected energy policy. Russia, for its part, is no longer willing to subsidise its neighbouring economies by cheap energy exports. The Russian government engages in assertive policies pursuing Russian interests. In so far, it opts for a different globalisation approach, refusing the role of mere energy exporter. In view of the intensifying struggle for global resources, Russia, with its large energy potential, appears to be a very favourable option for European energy supplies, if not the best one. However, several outcomes of the strategic game between the two partners can be imagined. Engaging in non-cooperative strategies will in the end leave all stakeholders worse-off. The European Union should therefore concentrate on securing its partnership with Russia instead of damaging it. Stable cooperation would need the acceptance that the partner may pursue his own goals, which might be different from one’s own interests. The question is, how can a sustainable compromise be found? This thesis finds that a mix of continued dialogue, a tit for tat approach bolstered by an international institutional framework and increased integration efforts appears as a preferable solution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L‘avenir du travail en Afrique se penche sur deux questions fondamentales : comment créer des emplois productifs et comment subvenir aux besoins des laissés-pour-compte. Le rapport met en lumière comment l’adoption des technologies numériques, conjuguée à d’autres phénomènes mondiaux, transforme la nature du travail en Afrique subsaharienne et pose un défi en même temps qu’elle crée de nouvelles possibilités. Les auteurs montrent que les nouvelles technologies ne sont pas simplement synonymes de destruction d’emplois, comme on le craint généralement, mais qu’elles peuvent permettre aux pays africains de construire un monde du travail inclusif et offrir des opportunités aux travailleurs les moins qualifiés. Pour exploiter ces opportunités, cependant, il est indispensable de mettre en place des politiques publiques et de réaliser des investissements productifs dans quatre domaines principaux. Il faudra notamment promouvoir des technologies numériques inclusives, développer le capital humain d’une main-d’oeuvre jeune, globalement peu qualifiée et qui s’accroît rapidement, augmenter la productivité des entreprises et des travailleurs du secteur informel et élargir la couverture de la protection sociale pour atténuer les risques liés aux bouleversements du marché du travail. Le présent rapport, prolongement du Rapport sur le développement dans le monde 2019 de la Banque mondiale, aborde en conclusion d’importantes questions de politique publique qui viendront alimenter de futurs travaux de recherche permettant de guider les pays africains sur la voie d’une croissance plus inclusive.
