GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT
Les divergences observées reflètent les fractures géopolitiques contemporaines : l'opposition structurelle entre l'ordre occidental mené par les États-Unis et l'axe de contestation sino-russe, les ambitions régionales concurrentes au Moyen-Orient, et les contraintes économiques nationales. Les médias occidentaux privilégient les cadrages sécuritaires et atlantistes, tandis que les perspectives non-occidentales mettent l'accent sur la multipolarité et la critique de l'hégémonie américaine. Les puissances moyennes adoptent des positions pragmatiques dictées par leurs intérêts économiques et leur recherche d'autonomie stratégique, révélant la fragmentation croissante de l'ordre international post-guerre froide.
