Un projet de recherche sans-précédent de recensement, de synthèse et de cartographie des acteurs et des actions de la France dans la région @FRS_org ⚠️ 11 fiches thématiques + cartes @Gaelle_Sutton Ce projet très personnel de neuf mois de travail intense, avec l'aide précieuse de Marie Desbonnets, s’inscrit dans mes recherches et fait suite à la publication de deux notes intitulées "La France, une puissance d’initiatives en Indo-Pacifique" en novembre 2022 et "Reconceptualiser la politique étrangère et de sécurité française en Indo-Pacifique" en juillet 2023, ainsi que de nombreux autres travaux sur la région.
