(FR) Dialogues Stratégiques Volume XVII: Quelle place pour l’Europe sur la nouvelle scène internationale ? Les États de l’AES et l’Afrique de l’Ouest, quelles perspectives ?
In a context of shifting global power dynamics, Dialogues Stratégiques Volume XVII interrogates Europe’s capacity to assert strategic autonomy while recalibrating its partnerships amid the rise of Global South actors. This edition brings together multidisciplinary analyses on two critical axes: Europe’s evolving role on the international stage and the future of regional cooperation in West Africa following the emergence of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES). By linking geopolitical repositioning with regional governance and security challenges, the volume offers a nuanced lens on Euro-African interdependencies. Can Europe reengage with Africa through a renewed and equitable strategic framework in this era of multipolar realignment?

In Search of a Plan B: Like-Minded Internationalism and the Future of Global Development
Len Ishmael, Stephan Klingebiel, Andy Sumner
As the liberal multilateral order erodes under the weight of systemic shocks and geopolitical fragmentation, In Search of a Plan B introduces the concept of like-minded internationalism—a pragmatic alternative to universal consensus models.

Rooted in shared commitments rather than hegemonic leadership, these coalitions may redefine international cooperation in a multipolar world. Could this shift from universality to selective convergence signal the future architecture of global governance?... Read more

Shaping a New World? Middle Powers and Global Governance
Aomar Ibourk, Zakaria Elouaourti
In a time of declining multilateral consensus and rising geopolitical fragmentation, Shaping a New World? offers a comprehensive analysis of how middle powers are repositioning themselves as critical agents in reconfiguring global governance. Tagliapietra and Casarões trace how countries such as Brazil, Türkiye, and Indonesia leverage regional leadership, minilateral diplomacy, and transversal coalitions to offset the inertia of traditional power blocs and contribute to reforming global institutions. While middle powers have the potential to bridge divides and catalyze innovation in multilateralism, their heterogeneous interests and limited leverage raise a central question: can they overcome structural constraints and internal fragmentation to offer a coherent alternative to the current crisis...
