Because there can't be any sustainable development without a prospective, political and economic thought, on a medium and long basis, without a democracy and a good governance of the states and of the companies, Presidency Key Brief links the whole of theses features in what we call global sustainable development.

The Olympic Games, the universal symbol of peace and fraternity, are being put into jeopardy. Human and citizen rights are flouted everyday, everywhere. There are latent conflicts scattered all over the continents, and the war in Iraq seems never to end. Blind terrorism is going beyond an already unbearable limit to impose its dogmas. The world's economy is weakened every time a butterfly flaps its wings. The pauperization of the Poor is aggravating, and the spectrum of the great famines has reappeared. Animal and vegetal species are disappearing at a dreadful speed. Natural catastrophes are getting more and more violent and unpredictable every time. The Planet is getting out of breath, and its generous contribution is getting rarer and rarer because of both the systematic looting and hazardous management of its resources.
The list is long, and unfortunately, every day brings all kinds of new desolations. Are we actually taking part in a new type of worldwide conflict? Where is the traditional enemy to be found? Paradoxically enough, "it" doesn't exist, as "it" hints at us! Mankind is capable of the best, along with the worst. This brilliant specie, which is meticulously acting to ensure its disappearance… We, the Citizens of the world… Have we really lost all wisdom, all sympathy for others, all dignity, and all our values?
I can't believe it. Because, every day, men and women of good will, on their own, or throughout organizations, are thinking in order to find solutions, are giving enlightened advice, and are acting to eradicate those curses.

Acting! This is the real motto. It is the reason why we wanted to create the journal PRESIDENCY KEY BRIEF, in order to be able to put forward the ones who are building, in a positive and meaningful way the future of Mankind, using the concept of durable development, and advocating solidarity throughout their actions and theories.

Researches, practical experiences, and initiatives represent the core editorial program of PRESIDENCY KEY BRIEF:

• PROSPECTIVE STUDIES AND GOVERNANCE
It is the rostrum of the laboratory of thought, lead by our partner, the NOUVELLE ECOLE D'ATHENES (New School of Athens), which is a genuine incubator of new ideas. As it is supported by hundreds of searchers, of scholars, of forecasters, of politicians, of head managers, of leaders of opinion scattered all over the world, the NOUVELLE ECOLE D'ATHENES offers reflections, works and actions in the domains of political and economic forecasting, of the good governance of States and businesses, along with a project for tomorrow.

• DEMOCRACY AND GOOD PRACTICAL EXPERIENCES
PRESIDENCY KEY BRIEF makes the portrait of a Head of State, and of its country - or of an executive from an
international business - whose democratic spirit, vision, and practice as regards governance, are as many accounts and examples that can be applied by anyone willing to build up a more ethical world.
Numerous personalities from the entrepreneurial world will also be invited to talk about their responsible actions and their path.

• DURABLE DEVELOPMENT
This part aims at promoting the initiatives that are leading to the shaping of durable development in domains such as economy, social action and environment. Under the light of concrete examples, small and big
initiatives of solidarity, coming from the whole wide world, will be given the opportunity of being reproduced
all over the world.
