GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT
Les divergences narratives reflètent les fractures géopolitiques contemporaines et les intérêts stratégiques nationaux. Le bloc atlantiste (US, IL, AR, AU) privilégie une lecture sécuritaire justifiant l'interventionnisme, tandis que le bloc sino-russe (CN, RU, IR) conteste l'hégémonie occidentale en promouvant un ordre multipolaire. Les puissances européennes (FR, DE, UK) adoptent une approche économico-centrée reflétant leur dépendance énergétique, tandis que les pays du Sud Global (ZA, IN, PK) maintiennent une neutralité calculée. Ces différences s'expliquent par les structures d'alliance, les interdépendances économiques, les systèmes médiatiques nationaux et les expériences historiques de chaque pays face aux interventions militaires.
