#IfriEnergy
The Ifri Center for Energy will host its annual conference on March 4th, 2015 in Brussels. While global energy markets are transitioning to sustainable systems and are confronted by declining oil prices, there is a greater need to align European policies with global energy trends. This year’s theme, “New Energy Frontiers,” is aimed at calling for an outwards look on energy issues in the European Union as a way to create more realistic and stable policies. The discussion will revolve around the question of how the European energy and climate policies can deliver effective results in light of geopolitical upheavals, technological developments and governance issues.

La Corée du Nord au-delà de la question nucléaire : focus sur le défi des droits humains
Les débats autour de la Corée du Nord sont principalement centrés sur les questions de sécurité, nucléaires et balistiques, reléguant au second plan la situation critique de la population nord-coréenne et les violations des droits humains. Le manque de d’information sur les conditions de vie réelles des Nord-coréens contribue à l'absence d'attention et de discussion sur cette question cruciale.
