Prospective vision on the World, Africa and the Sahel

  • It is a question of knowing how to conduct a geopolitical analysis in order to understand the major issues of the Sahel, Africa and the world. This field begins with a general approach to geopolitics and international relations to increasingly identify major international organizations (UN, EU, NATO, etc.) with a particular focus on Africa and its regional structures (AU, ECCAS, ECOWAS, etc.). The program will reserve a large part to the knowledge of the G5 Sahel countries through history, geography, sociology..., etc.
  • It should allow mutual understanding thanks to the precise knowledge by each of the trainees from other countries.
  • In order to complement the theoretical approaches, two study missions abroad are scheduled to confront the studies carried out with the reality of the field. The destination is proposed by the Director of the Defence College to the Defence and Security Committee (CDS), depending on developments on the international scene and the teaching objectives chosen. One of the two study tours will be carried out in one of the G5 Sahel countries in order to strengthen this mutual knowledge, a major challenge of this high-level training.
