Alors que la Chine poursuit son ascension économique et politique, l'Indo-Pacifique est désormais au coeur du débat stratégique occidental. Pourtant, une zone est bien souvent absente des discussions : l'Océanie, et les îles du Pacifique en particulier. Loin de n'être que des morceaux de terre perdus au milieu de l'océan, celles-ci sont en réalité des acteurs politiques à part entière, avec une agentivité et des intérêts propres, capables, malgré leur taille, d'influer sur les équilibres géostratégiques de la région.Pour mieux saisir les singularités de cette zone, Simon Desplanque reçoit Elise Barandon, doctorante à l'Université Panthéon-Assas, officier de réserve dans la Marine nationale et co-éditrice au Rubicon. Au micro de 20 Minutes pour Comprendre, elle revient sur les caractéristiques géographiques et historiques de l'Océanie et analyse les dynamiques géopolitiques qui traversent le Pacifique insulaire, en croisant le regard des grandes puissances extérieures avec celui des (micro-)États qui composent la région.Invitée : Elise BarandonAvec Simon DesplanqueLien vers l'un des articles d'Elise Barandon : https://lerubicon.org/mercy-masta-le-changement-climatique-les-inegalites-la-criminalite-et-le-manque-dinfrastructures-constituent-des-menaces-bien-plus-importantes-pour-la-papouasie-nouvelle-guinee-que/Suivez le podcast !

No other American colony projected such extensive power with so few people. We recount how the French explored the vast northern region they called “Canada” for decades in pursuit of furs and the Northwest Passage, but repeatedly failed to plant a lasting colony in the harsh and forbidding land—until they found in Samuel de Champlain a leader with the shrewdness and grit to overcome the severe cold, the vast distances, and the treacherous politics of the Saint Lawrence basin. We trace the growth of Quebec from little more than a warehouse in the frozen wildnerness to a thriving town, controlling the most critical gateway into the continent and serving as the hub of a lucrative trading network, a vast constellation of mission towns and outposts (including the Christianizing experiment known as Montreal), and most importantly, a formidable indigenous alliance system that dominated the continenet from the Atlantic to Lake Superior. Finally, we consider the disasters of the mid-1600s, including deadly epidemics and warfare with the Five Nations, that brought Canada's most important allies to their knees and threatened to wipe the colony off the map.

Imagine hopping on a train and reaching another continent in just minutes—sounds like science fiction, right? Well, scientists are working on a futuristic vacuum tube train that could make it possible! This concept, called hyperloop or vactrain, would use airtight tunnels with super-low air resistance, allowing trains to travel at nearly the speed of sound. That means a trip from New York to London or Paris to Beijing could be faster than a regular plane ride! The technology is still in development, but if it works, it could change travel forever—no long flights, no jet lag, just smooth, ultra-fast rides. Who knows? In the future, your next vacation might start with a train ride across the ocean!

My guest Peter C. Mancall's new book is Contested Continent: The Struggle for North America, c. 1000–1680. It is, now, the first volume in the Oxford History of the United States, an ongoing multi-volume narrative series—a series whose story is worth an episode in and of itself.In Contested Continent, Mancall describes the foundation of that place which would eventually become the United States. It is a long era of human history which foreshadowed that which was to come, one in which peoples from four continents came together in a collision of violence and mutuality in North America. “Much of what happened,” he writes, “came to define the American experience, including the rise of a booming transatlantic economy based on the extraction of abundant American natural resources, the central role European migrants and their descendants played in the enslavement of Africans, the displacement of Indigenous peoples, and the spread of self-governing polities where many people enjoyed religious liberty. None of those developments was inevitable. Nor did sweeping changes occur quickly.” Or we might say that like the glaciers of an advancing ice age, the events of this era often seem slow and ponderous, but ultimately they change everything that gets in their way.Peter C. Mancall is Distinguished Professor, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of the Humanities, and Director of the USC-Huntington Early Modern Studies Institute at the University of Southern California. He is the author of numerous books, including Fatal Journey: The Final Expedition of Henry Hudson and Hakluyt's Promise: An Elizabethan's Obsession for an English America.

The Windy City Historians so enjoyed talking with John William Nelson Ph.D. Associate Professor of History at Texas State University about his book Muddy Ground; Native Peoples, Chicago's Portage, and the Transformation of a Continent we revisit this discussion. With so much ground of the Chicago landscape traversed by both European and Native peoples to cover, muddy or not, we are returning for a second episode for more of this fascinating history.   In this episode, “Muddy Ground Revised”, the conversation continues, focusing on Chicago Portages, tying together historic threads, a brief tribute to Dennis McClendon, and more. We touch upon the grand department store, Hudson's, with it’s origins in the 1600s and contributions great historians of the 19th century, such as Wisconsin's own William Reuben Thwaites and Frederick Jackson Turner, and their continued legacies to American historiography, and contributions to Oscar-winning movies.  It’s a fun ride into the Chicago’s past we hope you will enjoy it as much as we did making it!

My newsletter: https://simonowens.substack.com/ When Sipho Kings and his co-founder Simon Allison launched The Continent in 2020, they wanted to rethink how journalism is distributed online. Instead of chasing search traffic and social algorithms, they created a weekly PDF newspaper designed specifically for smartphones and distributed it through platforms like WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, and email. The idea was to bring back the simplicity of a curated newspaper while adapting it to how people actually consume information today. Six years later, The Continent reaches tens of thousands of readers across Africa and around the world. In a recent interview, Kings explained how the publication grew entirely through word of mouth, why its unusual PDF format created a deeper relationship with readers, and how it's building a sustainable media business outside the traditional web ecosystem.

La fermeture prolongée du détroit d'Ormuz risque de provoquer une grave crise mondiale des prix alimentaires d'ici six à douze mois. C'est l'alerte lancée par la FAO, l'organisation des Nations unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture. Parmi les zones à risques figure le continent africain. Plusieurs géants des engrais y sont pourtant installés. La plupart des fabricants d'engrais du continent africain produisent des mélanges, on les appelle des « blendeurs » : ils achètent des matières premières et les assemblent. Ils sont directement exposés à la volatilité des prix. Ces matières premières peuvent être achetées en partie en Afrique. C'est le cas des engrais phosphatés, le continent peut s'enorgueillir d'accueillir le leader mondial, l'OCP, l'Office chérifien des phosphates, une multinationale, basée au Maroc, qui approvisionne de nombreux États africains.  « L'OCP a une capacité de production de 15 millions de tonnes par an et la demande totale sur tout le continent en engrais phosphatés est de l'ordre de 8 à 10 millions de tonnes, explique Michaël Sebag, négociant en engrais pour la société Orcom à Genève. L'OCP ne peut pas dédier toute sa production à l'Afrique, mais à plus de 50 % de part de marché, le groupe couvre donc largement la demande de tout le continent ».  Les usines de l'Office chérifien des phosphates ont cependant besoin de soufre pour traiter la roche, un produit devenu rare et cher depuis le début de la guerre au Moyen-Orient : la région représentait 40 % du commerce avant le conflit. « On est dans une période conjoncturelle un peu compliquée, confirme Michaël Sebag. L'OCP a annoncé une réduction de 30 % de sa production au deuxième trimestre, on ne sait pas encore ce qui se passera au troisième trimestre. La question est de savoir si l'Office chérifien des phosphates va décider de privilégier l'Afrique en maintenant les volumes exportés sur le continent ou si le géant marocain va les réduire dans la même proportion que sa baisse de production ». Ce qui est certain, c'est que le Sud-Africain Foskor, l'autre producteur d'engrais phosphatés du continent, n'a pas la capacité de combler l'éventuel vide laissé par l'OCP. À lire aussiAu Maroc, le géant des engrais OCP doit faire face aux conséquences de la guerre au Moyen-Orient Le Nigeria, roi de l'urée Un autre engrais est produit en quantité sur le continent, il s'agit de l'urée. C'est l'affaire essentiellement du milliardaire nigérian Aliko Dangote. Le groupe qu'il dirige a centré ses ventes sur l'international, avec des exportations vers le Brésil, l'Argentine, mais aussi vers l'Inde. Ses derniers investissements témoignent cependant d'une évolution de stratégie, explique Mounir Halim, fondateur d'Afriqom, une agence d'information spécialisée sur le prix des engrais : « Pour Dangote, les choses ont changé, le groupe a mis en place une stratégie éthiopienne, avec un projet de production de 3 millions de tonnes d'urée en Éthiopie, détaille-t-il. En parallèle, Dangote a commencé à fournir l'Éthiopie en urée, et en a déjà envoyé environ 350 000 tonnes ». Quelle que soit la quantité d'engrais que les producteurs africains pourront dédier aux acheteurs du continent, les pays importateurs doivent aujourd'hui composer avec une limite, celle des prix qui ont flambé. « Les États africains peuvent acheter à l'OCP, à Dangote, aux Russes, en Chine, le produit est disponible, ce sont les prix du marché qui conditionneront ce que les acheteurs feront », assure Mounir Halim, qui pointe aussi la difficulté qu'ont de nombreux acheteurs publics à être réactifs pour anticiper leurs achats d'engrais.

African creatives have global clout, but talent is only part of the picture, and in reality the starving artist is not a romantic figure but an unsupported one. No more. Georja speaks to one of the biggest advocates for the development of the continent's artistic industries – Marie Lora Mungai's new book "Creative Cash Flow" walks African creatives through the financial sense and business practicalities needed for their gifts to keep on giving.

Who doesn't love a library? Unfortunately, library workers at Mid-Continent Libraries don't feel much love from their bosses, and they've organized a union. We'll have them and results of their vote on it on tonight's show. Then, one might think that being head of the Texas AFL-CIO would be a thankless job in such an anti-union state, but Rick Levy made the state's labor movement broader, bolder, and more inclusive. We'll find out how. Our feature is Know Your Rights with Michael Amash.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week on the podcast I'm back in Accra, back on the Continent, just in time to commemorate African Liberation Day--Africa Day 2026. Last year around this time, my guest and I were preparing for our respective sessions at AfroTalks 2025 @ University of Ghana-Legon where we shared stories and proposed solutions centering the theme "HOW?" aimed at fostering critical introspection, sustainable community impact, and the amplification of African stories by Africans. I shared insights taken from our Future of Work salon series and featured Glocal Citizens specifically engaged in impact-driven solutions for us by us. My guest, Dr. Ashley D. Milton was part of a duo presenting The Triangle Offensive Policy. She joins us a year later to share how her work has progressed and her consortium prepares to release the The State of the Africa Diaspora Report, a first-of-its-kind continental grounding document examining how Africa and its global diaspora connect across mobility, investment, culture, skills, governance, technology, and development systems. The report brings together policymakers, researchers, entrepreneurs, creatives, and community stakeholders across Africa and the diaspora to shape a more coordinated and regenerative future. As a strategist, researcher, and systems builder working at the intersection of Africa, its global diaspora, and the future of regenerative economic development she is the Founder and Managing Director of She Grows It™ (SGI), a Pan-African consulting and investment migration advisory firm. Ashley leads work across green infrastructure, trade and industry, tourism and hospitality, diaspora engagement, governance strategy, and emerging technology systems designed to support long-term African growth and resilience. She has advised on projects ranging from IFC EDGE green building certification and sustainable development strategy to diaspora policy frameworks, investment positioning, and institutional ecosystem development. Her work consistently centers one core question: how do we build systems that allow African people, businesses, and communities to thrive across generations? Where to find Dr. Ashley?

Australia built a fence across the entire continent, called the Dingo Fence, to protect their livestock from wild dingoes. These dingoes were preying on sheep and cattle, causing huge losses for farmers. The fence, stretching over 5,600 kilometers, aimed to keep the dingoes out of southeastern Australia, where most of the farming happens. It's one of the longest structures in the world, designed to control the dingo population and safeguard agriculture. The fence has had mixed results, impacting both the environment and wildlife in various ways. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The recent election result in Hungary has been seen as a welcome relief within the European Union.The bloc of 27 nations has, at times, felt frustrated with the country for blocking what the other 26 members have agreed to do, especially regarding financial support for Ukraine.Now the EU has been able to push through a loan to Ukraine of more than US$100bn, and some observers believe the union's turbulent years are behind it. As it marks 10 years since the United Kingdom voted to leave, and with Montenegro expected to soon join, this week on The Inquiry we're asking: ‘What is the future of the European Union?'Contributors: Dr Monika Sus, professor at the Polish Academy of Sciences and at the Robert Schuman Center of the European University Institute in Florence, Italy Michael Geary, professor of European history at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway Catherine E. de Vries, author How Europe Survives: The Adaptability and Resilience of a Continent in Peril, vice dean of the school for politics, economics and global affairs at IE University of Madrid, Spain Dr Andi Hoxhaj, lecturer in law and director of the European law and LLM programme at King's College, London, UKPresenter: Daniel Rosney Producer: Jill Collins Researchers: Evie Yablsey and Amelia Cox Editor: Tom Bigwood Technical Producer: James Bradshaw Production Management: Phoebe Lomas and Liam Morrey(Photo: European Union flags.

In this episode, we return to the European continent to analyse why leadership remains paralysed by the "Western Bubble". While we dedicated much of last week's episode to the United States, Europe's current aimlessness and blind actionism deserve a much deeper dissection.German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's recent comments at a school regarding the US war in Iran serve as a perfect example of the managerial mindset. By calling the US "humiliated" without a broader strategic plan, Merz has managed to anger Washington without gaining any of the geopolitical soft power benefits that Prime Minister Sánchez achieved for Spain.We discuss why European leaders are so beholden to a neoliberal model that prioritises tomorrow's stock market over long-term strategic autonomy. From the presence of 33,000 US troops on German soil to the lack of a 2040 vision, we explore why the "reasonable" ones in the room are actually the ones making the West increasingly fragile.This podcast is an individual project between us, Dario Hasenstab and Balder Hageraats. We are supported by our producer Stefani Obradovic from Western Bubble Insights & Strategy. If you would like to get in touch with us, write us an email at thewesternbubble@gmail.com.

Click here to send me a text message (include your contact info if you want a reply).The myth is that Henry VIII founded the Church of England because he wanted a divorce. The reality is that his second wife, Anne Boleyn, was using her influence with Henry to foment church reform in England, as on the Continent. That he thanked her by having her executed and marrying again is a story of 'blame and shame' as old as Adam and Eve, and equally as unsettling. Martha Tatarnic, in her new book, Anne Boleyn: Reputation, Revolution, Religion, and the Queen Who Changed History, says 'twas ever thus. In a "man's world," strong women pay a price for their influence, sometimes with their lives. Martha reminds us that, to create the just world for which Anne fought and died, we must be ever vigilant to hear the voices for change, not at the powerful centre, but at the prophetic edges. Voices like Anne's. About Anne: https://www.amazon.ca/Anne-Boleyn-Reputation-Revolution-Religion/dp/1640658599About Martha: https://marthatatarnic.caAbout Anne and Martha: https://marthatatarnic.ca/anne-boleyn-2/Personal LinksMy web site (where you can sign up for my blog): https://www.brianepearson.caMy email address: mysticcaveman53@gmail.comSeries Music Credit"Into the Mystic" by Van Morrison, performed by Colin James, from the album, Limelight, 2005; licensed under SOCAN 2026

What's up bros?? Things look to be getting on the right path with our crew out in the valley and we're hoping to see more of the same. While we still hold our disdain for Janet as a person, alienating and excluding her from the reality TV show has never made sense so we're hoping her return to the group signals a return to form. While Brittany contemplates what a continent is, Luke is still coming to grips with what it means to be a dad...not a fisherman. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The latest European State of the Climate report has found that Europe is once again getting warmer, and at a rate that is twice as fast as the global average. Tom Whipple is joined by Dr Samantha Burgess, deputy director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, to understand the driving forces behind this stark difference and anticipate what Europeans can expect in the coming years as a result.We also remember Dr J Craig Venter, one of the famous founders of what we might now call the genomic age of science who dies this week. In the lead-up to the 100th birthday of the world-famous broadcaster Sir David Attenborough, Inside Science is shining a spotlight on a species of scientific importance that has been named after him. This week, Dr Leonidas-Romanos Davranoglou shares his treacherous search for a unique species of echidna previously thought to be extinct. Plus, science journalist Caroline Steel fills us in on the latest science news that you might have missed - from the surprising growth rates of Neanderthal babies to 10,000 newly discovered planets.

Radio Foot internationale, deux émissions en direct ce mercredi, à 16h10 T.U. et 21h10 T.U. Au sommaire de la première émission : - Ligue des Champions, suite et fin des ¼ de finale retour. ; - Les Gunners pour rebondir après la déconvenue en championnat contre Bournemouth. ; - Éliminés de poids ! Le Barça pourtant proche de l'exploit sur la pelouse de l'Atlético. - Ligue des Champions, suite et fin des ¼ de finale retour. Les Merengue dans leur compétition fétiche, en quête d'exploit à Munich, mais sans Tchouaméni ni Courtois. Le trio Mbappé-Vinicius-Bellingham va-t-il sortir le grand jeu ? Les Blancos ont perdu à l'aller chez eux, mais ont donné quelques motifs d'espoir. Combler le retard d'un but, déjà, tout sauf aisé face à des Bavarois jamais rassasiés ! Les Madrilènes n'ont jamais réussi à se qualifier en C1 après avoir perdu dans leur antre. - En face, un portier infranchissable, une attaque redoutable, et un Harry Kane qui a déjà égalé son record de la saison dernière dans le tournoi (11 buts). Si les Allemands n'ont été sortis qu'une fois après l'avoir emporté à l'extérieur, ils restent sur 5 éliminations d'affilée face aux Madrilènes, qui doivent éviter une nouvelle saison sans titre.    - Les Gunners pour rebondir après la déconvenue en championnat contre Bournemouth. Un avantage d'un but sur le Sporting Portugal, mais des Londoniens en zone de turbulences, qui auront peut-être à l'esprit le rendez-vous face aux Cityzens dimanche (19 avril 2026). - Le onze d'Arteta remanié. Saka, Timber, Odegaard, Merino absents. Declan Rice très incertain. Le club vert et blanc, qui n'a jamais disputé de ½ finale de l'épreuve, peut-il en profiter avec une pression moindre ?    - Éliminés de poids ! Le Barça pourtant proche de l'exploit sur la pelouse de l'Atlético. Lamine Yamal avait lancé idéalement sa mission et la partie, Ferran Torres l'a rapidement suivi, les Colchoneros ont été proches du K.O. La défense catalane toujours sur un fil. Les Rojiblancos moins attendus que les Blaugranas dans le dernier carré ? - Liverpool n'a pas chanté sous la pluie, et reçoit une pluie de critiques de la presse anglaise. Elle souligne le fossé entre mercato dispendieux et résultats. La tuile pour Ekitike. Sorti sur civière, l'attaquant bleu forfait pour le Mondial. Nouveau raté des Reds, défaite de trop pour Slot ? - Le PSG encore au rendez-vous, son Ballon d'Or Ousmane Dembélé retrouve son efficacité quand Paris est sous l'eau !   Avec Annie Gasnier : Dominique Sévérac, David Lortholary, notre confrère Elga (Mémoires d'un Continent), et celui de la rédaction lusophone, Marco Martins.
