Diplomacy & Crisis News

Fin novembre/début décembre, de nombreux médias internationaux (Le Huffington Post), nationaux (Les Échos) et régionaux (Le Bien Public, Le Républicain Lorrain, L’Alsace, Vosges Matin…) ont cité les articles du dernier numéro de Politique étrangère, n° d’hiver 2017-2018 (4/2017), et particulièrement l’article d’Antoine Bondaz sur la Corée du Nord et ses essais nucléaires, et celui de François Frison-Roche sur le Yémen.

« François Frison-Roche estime dans une étude de l’Institut français des relations internationales que « les principaux acteurs yéménites perçoivent certainement qu’il ne peut plus y avoir désormais de victoire militaire », même si chacun peut avoir intérêt au statu quo, plutôt que de se lancer dans des négociations humiliantes pour Riyad ou Téhéran. » (par Y. Bourdillon, Les Échos, 05/12/2017).
