France’s territories, challenges and promises

France's territories,challenges and promises
With “La France des territoires, défis et promesses” (France's territories, challenges and promises), Pierre Veltz offers a stimulating prospective analysis. By anchoring it in the long term and drawing on his in-depth knowledge of socio-economic transformations, particularly those concerning globalisation and ‘hyperindustrialisation’, he deconstructs many of the misconceptions that clutter public debate and manages to articulate France's political challenges in new terms.

Forum of West Africa's Futures

Forum of West Africa's Futures
By 2050, the population of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) could reach 800 million. The population of West Africa at large could exceed one billion. While some analysts see it as gloomy and others as bright, the future of this crisis-torn region remains uncertain. Taking into account both the advantages to be had from open future-oriented studies relating to West Africa and the absence of such studies, Futuribles International wishes to stimulate such reflection, beginning with Western and Sahelian Africa. Futuribles International therefore proposes to establish a standing ‘Foresight Forum’ on the possible future of the West Africa and Sahel region.

This forum will catalyse existing reflections on West African futures: it aims to identify and analyse ongoing transformations, explore possible futures and support the design of inclusive, long-term sensitive decision-making processes.

Combining research, publications and debates, this forum aims to become the crucible of an open and action-oriented reflection on West African futures.

These strategic reflections may feed into projects run by governments and development partners, as well as the private sector and West African citizens.
