L’intelligence artificielle et ses défis d’ici 2035
“Since ChatGPT 3.5was launched in November 2022, artificial intelligence has evolved from a specialist software tool into a mass consumption product, with more than 1.5 users around the world every month, and 25% of the active population in developed countries using it on a daily basis”, Arnault Barichella states in his introduction to this study of the Jacques Delors Institute, commissioned by CRiP (Digital Responsibility [...]
Économie internationale : la fin d’un monde ?
There were three articles that particularly caught our attention in spring edition of the Politique étrangère periodical, which celebrates its ninetieth anniversary this year.
The first on the list, which was authored by Sébastien Jean, lecturer at the Conservatoire national des arts et métiers (CNAM), discusses the “major break in globalisation”, from Donald Trump to Xi Jinping (our translation throughout). The author, who goes [...]
Clivages politiques et lignes de fracture au sein du Parlement européen
The aim of this study, carried out jointly by the Institut Jacques Delors and the Greek think tank ELIAMEP, is to take a deep dive into the voting tendencies of members of the European Parliament over the course of the first year of the current Parliament, identifying political networks and lines of division, not just between the political groups, but also within them.
“As at 10 July 2025, the European Parliament [...]
Mutations géopolitiques, fragmentations économiques et financières

This America That Loathes Us
With this essay, journalist Richard Werly offers his analysis of the widening gulf between the two shores of the Atlantic, seeking out the cultural and ideological roots of what he chooses to call loathing — a term whose polemical nature he himself acknowledges.
If Richard Werly is to be believed — and he illustrates his point through various exchanges he had in the United States, particularly in 2024 and 2025 — "this America that loathes us is a reality [...]
Pour sa défense, l’Europe a besoin d’un marché unique de l’armement
As the European Commission prepares a communication and proposals aiming to streamline trade in defence equipment within the EU (a consultation of the stakeholders launched on 9 January is due to conclude on 6 February), Bertrand de Cordoue, whose CV includes the post of Director of Research at the European Defence Agency and who has also worked for Airbus, sets out an argument in favour of a single armaments [...]
Anatomy of Trump’s Thinking on NATO… and on the EU
“Over the past two decades, history has undergone several brutal accelerations that Europeans neither anticipated nor understood in time, leaving them frozen in shock. The most recent of these dramas is the rupture of the transatlantic relationship, officially sealed – for anyone who still had doubts – on 4 December 2025” with the publication of the new National Security Strategy of the United States, Federico Santopinto [...]
Les cent jours qui ont changé les États-Unis
“The man who returned to the Oval Office of the White House on 20 January 2025 is identical to the man who settled in there eight years earlier, as if time has no hold over Donald Trump. And, as was the case in 2017, a tornado immediately swept over Washington, reaching well beyond the borders of the United States”, says Gilles Paris in the introduction to this work, a compilation of articles published in the French daily newspaper Le [...]
La force d’être juste
Although there are a thousand reasons to take issue with the world as it is today, to act as though the brutal 20th century had never happened would be to condemn ourselves to make the same mistakes and live through the same horrors again. With this observation as his starting point, Jean Birnbaum, managing director of the publishing house “Le monde des livres”, makes an impassioned plea against all forms of fanaticism, which leads to the exclusion of the [...]
Fractures dans l’Occident
In this essay on Donald Trump’s second term as President of the United States and the consequences of this for the European Union and the world, Nicole Gnesotto observes that the American crisis is the “tip of the iceberg of a major crisis of Western democracies, the three pillars of which are breaking into pieces: liberalism and economic openness, representative democracy and the primacy of law” (our translation throughout). Taking “their place and [...]
