Printemps arabe et nouvel ordre géopolitique au Maghreb

Abstract

In the Maghreb as in the Mashreq, recent social upheavals have constituted a milestone announcing a break with the past and a new political order. Social change has also raised the specter of a return of identity politics, internal migration and social instability, stoking public fears and raising old insecurities. Are we on the threshold of major geopolitical change? What does the future hold for regional geopolitical configurations? In a region rich in geostrategic interests, does the return of traditional power interests and the growing strength of regional authorities announce a new geopolitical order? Are we headed toward new regional power balances?
