South Africa – The World’s Land of Reconciliation ?
Has the dream of Nelson Mandela and his South African supporters been achieved ? The country has become the political and economic leader of the African continent, but nearly half of its population lives below the poverty level, and blacks are overrepresented among the poor, the unemployed, and the victims of HIV/AIDS.  What are the successes and limits of the South African Reconciliation process? Might South Africa be a model for the world to follow?

The BRICS and the Quest for Land and Resources
As they become rarer and the world population increases, commodities have become a key stake of the 21st century.  From precious metals to petrol to control of land, Africa is one of the most desired plays of the great powers, thus of the BRICS.  What are the political, economic, and social consequences of commodities trading? Are the BRICS countries following in the footsteps of the former colonialists, or are they developing more equal partnerships?
