Né en 1930, contraint à l'exil en 1975, l'Argentin Juan Gelman n'a cessé, jusqu'à sa mort en 2014, de dénoncer la dictature militaire qui a ravagé son pays et tué son fils, sa belle-fille et nombre de ses amis.

RAMSES 2016 propose des analyses couvrant l’ensemble des enjeux internationaux d’actualité, enjeux qui interrogent plus globalement l’organisation de notre monde.
Thème dominant de cette 34e édition : Climat : une nouvelle chance ? RAMSES 2016 interroge aussi l’insertion de l’Afrique dans la globalisation, et les incertitudes de l’espérance démocratique : dans nos sociétés développées, plus au Sud, et pour la société internationale dans son ensemble.

Le RAMSES (Rapport annuel mondial sur le système économique et les stratégies) éclaire un monde en pleine recomposition :

Les Perspectives de Thierry de Montbrial replacent les développements internationaux des mois écoulés dans le temps long de l’analyse.

Trois enjeux pour 2016 : les chercheurs de l’Ifri s’attachent à trois questions décisives :

• La Conférence sur le climat de décembre 2015 pourra-t-elle être un nouveau départ ?
• Les désordres africains conduisent-ils le continent au seuil du gouffre, ou du rebond ?
• L’avancée vers la démocratie est-elle toujours à l’ordre du jour de la planète ?

Le Monde en questions passe en revue l’actualité des conflits, des stratégies, des grandes négociations internationales

Les Repères proposent un important appareil documentaire : statistiques, chronologie, cartes originales créées pour le RAMSES.

Le RAMSES 2016 est également, pour la première fois, accompagné de 7 vidéos de chercheurs de l’Ifri, qui proposent leur synthèse sur les thèmes internationaux les plus actuels.

(Own report) - The German natural gas company, Wintershall Holding GmbH, is intensifying cooperation with Russia's Gazprom and will receive direct access to large Siberian gas fields. Last Friday, the two companies announced they would finalize an asset swap this year, which would allow Wintershall to participate in the exploitation of two blocks in the Achimov formation of the Urengoy natural gas field. The deal had been signed back in 2013, but was canceled by Moscow in late 2014, because of the escalation of the conflict with the West. This resumption enables BASF's subsidiary, Wintershall, to continue its rise in the global gas sector. The Austrian company, OMV, since July 1, under the management of former Wintershall CEO, Rainer Seele, is also participating. Gazprom, Wintershall, OMV and other gas companies have agreed to expand the Russia-to-Germany "Nord Stream" pipeline with two more pipelines. German business circles explicitly describe both as "flagship projects" and push for a rapid re-intensification of cooperation at the political level.
