In partnership with the Collège de France, France Culture, AFP and France Médias Monde, the Institut du Monde Arabe is launching a new event to decipher current affairs.
Connected to the flow of information, the Rendez-vous de l'actualité is a moment of deciphering, exchange and perspective for all, on the latest events in the Arab world. Set a few days before the event, the subject, question or event discussed will be taken from the region's immediate news, so as to be as close as possible to what's happening.
Rendez-vous de l'actualité at the IMA Auditorium on Wednesday November 29, at 7pm:
"Reforms in Saudi Arabia: what consequences for the domestic and regional scenes?"
Lifting the driving ban for women, the Vision 2030 plan, the Neom project for a futuristic megalopolis, the fight against corruption... Crown Prince Mohammed Ben Salman wants to reform Saudi Arabia at breakneck speed. But could falling oil prices and regional crises (war in Yemen, embargo against Qatar, struggle for regional leadership with Iran) undermine this desire for openness?
Moderator:
Anthony Bellanger, journalist and international columnist at Les Inrocks and France Inter.
Guests:
Bertrand Badie, University Professor at Sciences Po and the Center for International Studies and Research (CERI)
Stéphane Lacroix, political scientist and specialist in the Arab world
