Increasing vassalization of Europe; return of the Monroe Doctrine in Latin America; general militarization of foreign policy; intensification of Israeli colonization, justified by a nationalist discourse; deafness in the face of the suffering of Gaza residents, coexistence with the emergence of the “Global South”. These dynamics, which are at the heart of Vent Se Lève‘s editorial line, find resonance in the work of Régis Debray. From his years in Latin America to his travels in Palestine, passing through his reflections on Europe and NATO, international relations occupy a significant place in his books. It is analyzed here by Dominique de Villepin, Lilith Verstrynge, and Christophe Ventura, in a conference moderated by Jean Mendelson.
Christophe Ventura is a research director at IRIS, Dominique de Villepin is a former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lilith Verstrynge is a former Spanish Secretary of State and a member of the editorial board of Vent Se Lève, Jean Mendelson is a former French ambassador to Cuba.
This conference is part of a symposium organized by the Res Publica Foundation, focusing on the thought of Régis Debray. Vent Se Lève, whose editorial members participated in several roundtables, will publish all the conferences on its YouTube channel.
