le contexte du pays

French term or phrase: le contexte du pays
J'avoue que si le terme "contexte du pays" existe bel et bien et se retrouve un peu partout, je constate qu'il s'agit tout même d'un furieux "anglicisme"... et ce même s'il est couramment employé!
D'ailleurs, 99% des sources proposant "contexte du pays" sont des documents traduits ou rédigés en français par des auteurs "multilingues".

Ce n'est pas que je sois une fervente de la loi Toubon, mais puisque j'ai le temps de pinailler, je pinaille.

Un exemple ici, dans mon texte:

It might be useful, if it’s **relevant to the country context**, to test if the yield data show a positive correlation to the historical records of the number of people considered affected by drought, i.e. are low yield years followed by increases in food insecurity of the local population? If not, understand why not.
