Presentation

The Horn of Africa will be studied from the political, economic, and security perspectives. States and the Regional Economic Communities to which they belong will be examined. We will analyze the weight of this region in the continental organization (African Union) on the basis of current issues (the Ethiopia-Eritrea rapprochement, South Sudan peace agreement...). Some case studies will be presented (The Nile, the African Union Mission in Somalia - AMISOM, Djibouti as a port on the new Silk Road).

Recommended Prerequisite(s)

A good knowledge of Africa, its political, economic and security organization is required. Africa as an international actor.
