  • Indian Ocean : a New Vision
    2013 (2) ISSN 2277 – 2464 FPRC Journal ________________________________________________________ (a Quarterly research journal devoted to studies on Indian Foreign Policy) ________________________________________________________________ Focus : Indian Ocean : A New Vision Responses, Articles ________________________________________________________ Foreign Policy Research Centre NEW DELHI (INDIA) ________________________________________________________ FPRC Journal 2013(2) Indian Ocean : A New Vision Preface Indian Ocean has the unique distinction of being the only ocean named after a country. For extra‐regional powers, the Indian Ocean has for decades fulfilled the role of an important transit corridor But Sardar KM Pannikar rightly said, “While to other countries, the Indian Ocean is only one of the important oceanic areas, to India it is a vital sea. Her lifelines are concentrated in that area, her freedom is dependent on the freedom of that water surface. No industrial development, no commercial growth, no stable political structure is possible for her unless her shores are protected...” Therefore, there is a realisation across the spectrum that the challenges, opportunities and roles the Indian Ocean provides, need to be discussed seriously in the light of the fragile security environment in the region. It is very heartening to note that a wide galaxy of writers have focused on important themes and other related issues in their writings and comments, for this special issue of FPRC Journal on Indian Ocean. We express our heart-felt thanks to our contributors who have shared our sentiments and accepted our invitation to enrich the contents of the Journal.They are always our source of strength.

  • Quick Review the Arab Maghreb Union (Amu) : the « Forgotten Dream »
    QUICK REVIEW THE ARAB MAGHREB UNION (AMU) : THE « FORGOTTEN DREAM » Date: 12 May 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Arab Maghreb Union (AMU) was established in 17 Feb 1989 when the five founding members Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya and Mauritania (currently with an overall estimated population of 96 million), signed the Treaty of Marrakesh. The AMU was supposed to be a competitive alternative to the Arab League and the African Union. Politicians and businessmen raised high hopes that AMU would also help the Maghreb use its strategic position between the Atlantic and Mediterranean to function as a trade hub and could serve as a negotiating block to achieve better, closer ties with unified Western Europe, the United States and China. KEY WORDS: Arab Maghreb Union, Western Sahara, economic growth, EU, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco HIGHLIGHTS: - 1964 .The first Conference of Maghreb Economic Ministers (Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia) took place in Tunis. - 1988 .The first Maghreb Summit of the five Heads of State is held in Algeria. -1989.The Heads of State of Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia finally signed the Treaty establishing the AMU in Marrakech (Morocco). - AMU has not convened due to differences between Algeria and Morocco over Western Sahara Since 1994. - AMU renewal is progressively perceived by Algeria and Morocco as a way to address security and economic challenges common to the five countries - such as inadequate rate of economic growth, domestic unrests and terrorism threat. BACKGROUND. The Arab Maghreb Union (AMU), constituted by Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia, is a trade agreement aiming for economical and future political unity among Arab Countries of the Maghreb region in North Africa.

  • The Future of Work for Smallholder Farmers in Ethiopia
    The Future of Work for smallholder farmers in Ethiopia The Future of Work for smallholder farmers in Ethiopia Policy paper by The West Wing Think Tank for the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs Directie Duurzame Economische Ontwikkeling / Directie Sociale Ontwikkeling 1 The West Wing Think Tank (DDE/DSO track 2018/2019) | Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs Track leader Andrew van Olst Editors Anouk de Vries Sebastiaan Olislagers Track members Adinda van de Walle Amerens Jongsma Eva Pander Maat Helena Arntz Isabella van der Gaag Jessica Sakalauskas Kevin van Langen Michael Holla Robin Klabbers Siert van Kemenade 2 The Future of Work for smallholder farmers in Ethiopia EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Future of Work creates various new opportunities, but also many challenges. While technological developments can drastically increase productivity and efficiency, it can also increase inequality if not dealt with correctly. Governments now have the responsibility to act. For this reason, the DDE/DSO- track of the West Wing Think Tank researched possible effects of the Future of Work. As a case study, this policy advice focuses on how the Future of Work will manifest itself in the agricultural sector of Ethiopia. Our central goal: having Ethiopian smallholder farmers benefit in an inclusive way from technological developments related to the Future of Work in the long-run. Existing research concerning the Future of Work is mainly oriented on Western labor markets. As the Ethiopian labor market is vastly different, the Future of Work will also take a different shape. We determined four relevant technological developments in the near future of the Ethiopian agricultural sector, namely mechanization, online platforms, big data, and artificial intelligence (AI).
