Conférence débat du 21 mars au Cercle de l’Union Interalliée

Un grand merci à l’École Skema et à son think tank Skema Publika présidé par Claude Revel pour ce moment si intéressant de débat sur « Le droit et la puissance, règles et normes au cœur des influences ». Ravie d’avoir échangé avec Claude et Frédéric Munier sur ce sujet lors de cette conférence animée par Stéphane Marchand.

When Putin decided on February 24, 2022 to seize - in a few days, he thought - Kiev and the rest of Ukraine, he was far from thinking that Europeans would be united in the face of this unprecedented aggression since the invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1938 and the subsequent invasions of the last world war.

In his article entitled “The End of History” published in 1989 after the fall of the Soviet bloc, Francis Fukuyama stated that liberal democracies had definitively wan over monarchy, fascism and communism. He argued that they had rang the death knell of all anti-democratic ideologies and thus constituted “the final form of human government”. Thirty years later, this assertion is put into question. Attacks against democracies from outside as well as from inside have never been as violent as they are now.

While no one knows what the future holds, it helps to enter a new year with an appreciation for the big issues that will likely dominate the global agenda. If one thing can already be said with certainty, it is that 2023 will not be boring.
