Who we are
The Observatoire Janus is a think tank dedicated to studying and analyzing the dynamics of economic warfare.
Our purpose: understanding past events and analyzing current challenges to prepare for future ones.

Why Janus ?
Janus is the Roman god of beginnings and endings. With his two faces, one looking to the past and the other to the future, he symbolizes choices, transitions, and passages.
His temple, open during times of war and closed during times of peace, reflects our vision: in this era of global economic warfare (as described by Bernard Ésambert), it is essential to understand the nature of conflicts in order to lay the foundation for future prosperity.
