The Need to Redefine the Transatlantic Bargain, Anna Dimitrova
Summary:
This paper argues that President Trump’s transactional approach to NATO calls into question the original transatlantic bargain according to which America’s commitment to Europe’s security has never been questioned and the alliance has been seen as a security community based on shared interests and values. However, Trump’s view of NATO as a business-like contract maintained by its members’ self-interests and financial contributions, makes it necessary both for the US and Europe to redefine the transatlantic bargain so as to build it on a more balanced burden-sharing among the allies, as well as on a stronger Europe, which is no longer dependent on the US security guarantees.

Resilience and governance of the European Union, Arnaud Leconte
Summary:
This article proposes a way to end the persistent crisis in the European Union and a new European governance ensuring the resilience of the EU in the face of shocks (climatic, economic and social). The prerequisite is to deal with the fragility of over-indebtedness and moral hazard in order to create the conditions for a new governance based on the principles of solidarity, responsibility and independence. This new governance must be founded on shared efforts to converge the productivity / remuneration ratio, the trade balance and unemployment of European regions. The aim is for European solidarity to be expressed in a European social contract and a Sahelian Climate Fund where systemic risks are contained and shared at a time of climate and demographic shocks.

Des enjeux européens relatifs à la régulation du cannabis, Mohamed Ane
Abstract:
A l’échelle mondiale, le marché du cannabis ne cesse d’évoluer à travers l’offre et la demande. En parallèle, la culture et le trafic ne cesse de provoquer diverses violences constituant ainsi une menace majeure pour la sécurité intérieure des Etats dont les Etats européens. Au niveau national, pour lutter contre un tel fléau, les Etats adoptent des dispositifs répressifs disproportionnés. Pour gagner en efficacité et en cohérence, les politiques européennes mériteraient d’être harmonisées.
