Why Might DRC Find Itself in a Complex Dilemma with the Conservative-Progressive Competition in the Post-COVID-19 World Politics?

Résumé

This paper proposes to briefly explain why with the bullish trend of conservative-progressive competition in the post-COVID-19 world politics, DRC might find itself in a "complex dilemma". The latter is understood here as being a situation in which, when faced with a choice between two paths to follow, it appears not only difficult to go one way against the other, but also to manage to balance the two sides at the same time, by remaining in the middle without taking a position, by playing the neutrality of the third way without creating pronounced imbalances between the blocks of the conservatives and the progressives, represented here respectively by the United States and China. Our results show that this situation is more likely to catch DRC, because of its strategic character in the eyes of conservatives and progressives, its pronounced dependence on both China and the Western world, and its fragility due to problems of leadership and political governance. It is up to DRC to prepare and keep itself well, and learn from its past mistakes for its best survival.
