La guerre en mer Rouge

\ttaque sur une artère du commerce mondial

Avec le canal de Suez, la mer Rouge est l’une des plaques tournantes économiques du commerce mondial. Plus de 15% du commerce mondial passe par ce goulet d’étranglement géographique. Le choc a été d’autant plus grand en Occident lorsque, à partir du 19 novembre 2023, les combattants du mouvement Ansar Allah (partisans de Dieu), également connus en Occident sous le nom de Houthis, ont commencé à tirer sur les navires d’Israël et des pays occidentaux alliés.

GREAT POWER COMPETITION IN THETWENTY-FIRST CENTURY

Executive Summary

Rather than a new phenomenon, competition, and hence the possibility of conflict, between states – as well as cooperation – has existed as long as states have interacted. While the particularities of great power competition have ebbed and flowed over the past decades, the twenty-first century has seen a return to “normal” as competition between states has translated into open conflict, such as the war in Ukraine, while interdependence due to globalization, renders inter-state conflicts, as well as strategic rivalries, increasingly complex. Even as the US is redefining its engagement with the world and the US and China are geopolitical facts no country can ignore, other countries will not necessarily be constrained to a binary, fully aligned with one over the other. Rather, states, including throughout the Global South, will likely pursue policies that still maximize their strategic national autonomy within the constraints of their respective realities.
