  • Etude Hydrologique De L'oum Er R'bia (Maroc)
    Étude hydrologicpe de 1’Ou.m er R’bia (Maroc) F. YONIOD Maître de Recherches principal au Bureau Central Hydrologique, Paris RÉSUMÉ L’Oum er R’bia est le plu.~ grand fleuve marocain. Prenant ses sources dans l’Atlas, il traverse la gra.nde plaine du Tadla, fertile mais aride, puis la région agricole des Doukkala, a.vant de se jeter dans l’océan. Depuis 1929 ce jleuve, source de richesses agricoles et énergétiques, a vu l’équipement hydraulique de son bassin se développer sans cesse. Les vastes projets dont il est actuellement l’objet se doivent d’être harmonieusement établis et nécessitent à ce propos que le régime hydrologique dupeuve soit bien counu. C”est en reconstitzmnt les débits naturels de 1’Oum er R’bia tout au long de son cours qn’apparai.ssent les caractéristiques hydrolo~giques de son régime, caractéristiques que l’extension des données à une période de 34 ans permet d’analyser par les méthodes statistiques. Les procédés employés pow reconstituer les débits naturels du $euve et étendre les s&ies des débits mensuels sont décrits dans cet article qui conclue en notant l’injluence qu’exercent les calcaires et les argiles de l’Atlas sur l’abondance des débits d’étiage et su,r la qualité chtmique des eaux. ARSTRACT Oum er R”bi.a is the mai.n river of Morroco. From its Springs in the Atlas Mountains dozun to the mouth in the Atlantic Ocean., it zoaters the large jlatland of Tadla, a rich but arid plain, and the agricultural Doukkala’s area.

  • THE POLITICAL INTEGRATION of MOROCCANS in EUROPE An
    THE POLITICAL INTEGRATION OF MOROCCANS IN EUROPE An Analysis of the Attitudinal and Behavioural Engagement of Moroccan-origin Residents in Politics in Five European Cities Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester By Zakaria Sajir School of Media, Communication and Sociology University of Leicester June 2018 Abstract In this dissertation I focus on the political integration of the people of migrant-origin from Morocco. The main objective is to explore how con- textual factors shape the political engagement of this group. In addition, the varying migration trajectories and histories of settlement in Europe of this large, heterogeneous, stigmatised, and understudied group are made visible. I begin by advancing my own conception of political integration, adding to work that seeks to fill a gap in the literature on migrant integra- tion, which has predominantly focused on the social and economic aspects. Using this concept, I analyse the attitudinal and behavioural forms of politi- cal engagement expressed by the members of the Moroccan-origin commu- nities residing in Brussels, Lyon, Turin, Barcelona, and Madrid. I use survey data from the LOCALMULTIDEM project, a sister project, and an original survey in Turin that I designed and conducted. I investigated how contex- tual factors—the presence of local voting rights in favour of non-European nationals and the strength of the anti-discrimination policies implemented in the countries of residence—can shape the way Moroccan-origin individ- uals engage in their countries of residence. I conducted a series of multivari- ate analyses whilst controlling for the influence of individual attributes, like gender, age, and education.

  • Historique Des Goums Mixtes Marocains Source : GALLICA – Transcription Intégrale En Français – Martine Lecomte – 2014
    Historique des Goums mixtes marocains Source : GALLICA – transcription intégrale en français – Martine Lecomte – 2014 LES GOUMS MIXTES MAROCAINS pendant La campagne 1914 - 1918 1920 IMPRIMERIE RAPIDE - G. MERCIÉ & Cie CASABLANCA Situation des Goums en Août 1914 ____________ Les goums Mixtes Marocains, créés en 1908, par le Général d’Amade, au nombre de six, et qui devaient d’abord servir exclusivement à la police des confins de la Chaouïa, étaient rapidement devenus des unités militaires de premier ordre, dont le Commandement avait utilisé les services, au cours de toutes les opérations qui marquèrent nos progrès, au-delà du « balcon » de la Chaouïa. En Août 1914, ils étaient au nombre de 14, répartis sur tout le front de nos postes de l’avant, depuis la zone espagnole jusqu’au sud de Marrakech. ROLE PENDANT LA CAMPAGNE La Guerre Européenne nécessitant l’envoi en France de la plupart des Troupes d’Occupation du Maroc, les Goums constituèrent de ce fait une des parties essentielles de « l’armature », chargée non seulement de protéger les territoires soumis, mais aussi de nous permettre de pénétrer plus avant, au cœur des tribus insoumises. Désormais, les Goums seront sans cesse sur la brèche, participant à toutes les colonnes, à toutes les opérations de « police » ou de représailles, organisant des contre-djiouch ne cessant jamais de rendre partout les plus variés et les plus précieux services. L’effort considérable fourni durant cette période, par les Goums, est mis en relief par les résumés qui suivent, relatant le rôle joué par chacun d’eux. 1re GOUM Août 1914 trouve le 1re Goum à Boujad (Territoire du Tadla), poste qu’il quitte fréquemment pour prendre part à toutes les opérations du Groupe Mobile de Tadla, parmi lesquelles il faut citer la colonne de représailles d’El Herri (Novembre 1914).

  • Democratization in Morocco: the Political Elite and Struggles For
    Democratization in Morocco Democratization in Morocco explores the political games of the Moroccan democratization process in the period from independence in 1956 until 2006. By combining a great degree of political theory with empirical material on Morocco, the book sets out not only to analyse the strategies and actions of the various polit- ical actors but also to evaluate the level of democracy present in the country after the adoption of new constitutions in 1962, 1970, 1972, 1980, 1992 and 1996. For a number of years, scholars have tended to agree that the democratic advances made in the Middle East during the past few decades can largely be attri- buted to a survival strategy by the various incumbent regimes. This book, however, demonstrates that in at least some instances, democratization has been more than simply a survival strategy – every so often, key figures within the political elite have taken the democratization process further than that strictly needed for them to stay in power. In the case of Morocco, it has been the monarch who on more than one occasion has moved the country further towards the democratic ideal than he necessarily had to and that sometimes even against the wishes of one or more of the established political parties. In fact, this book illustrates how the Moroccan political parties, like so many of their counterparts in the region, have become the main obs- tacle to further democratization as most of them have never honoured – or appear to have abandoned – the key function of political parties: popular representation. As virtually all the major political parties, including those of the moderate opposition, have been swallowed by the regime, very few are keen to push for regime change as this might jeopardize their current level of political power.
