Our Editorial Policy
Supported by the Ifri team and its network of collaborators, Ramses is an essential work for students, teachers, decision-makers, journalists, diplomats and anyone who wants to understand the changes taking place in the world.
Opening with the “Perspectives” of Thierry de Montbrial, Ifri’s President, Ramses offers an overview of current international events, with a priority of highlighting, explaining, and discussing developments in global governance.
Developments, ruptures and mutations are then tackled by the best specialists; young researchers are privileged to bring a fresh look.
Ramses concludes with a documentary apparatus that provides a chronology, original cartography, and essential figures, illustrating and complementing the texts.
