  • Country Paper: Morocco the State of Research Into International
    Country Paper: Morocco 2008 Prepared for the African Perspectives on Human Mobility programme, financed by the MacArthur Foundation The state of research into international migration from, to and through Morocco By: Mohamed Berriane and Mohamed Aderghal Team for Research into Regions and Regionalisation (E3R), Faculty of Arts and Humanities - Rabat Mohammed V University – Agdal, Morocco 1 Introduction Reviewing the current state of research into international migration in relation to Morocco is a challenging task, plagued with difficulties, if only because of the way this research has been scattered across different disciplines in different parts of the world. Today, the vast majority of this research is being generated outside of Morocco, and not only in Europe, at such a rate that it is difficult in practical terms to keep up with all the new developments in terms of concepts and issues. When looking at the structure of this research, it must be stressed that foreign Universities play the key role. The university thesis, presented in Europe or Morocco, but chiefly prepared by Moroccan researchers, was the main driving force, but today the baton has been passed on to research teams, with international backing and foreign researchers. In order to establish a database of research into international migration around Morocco, we looked at its three characteristic present-day forms. Firstly, there is international migration from Morocco, whose effects are felt outside the country, and which is the best studied and the best understood. Then there is international migration into Morocco, which can take three different forms: returning migration by Moroccans, migration by Sub-Saharan Africans who stop here en route to Europe, and also a new type of north-south migration which leads increasing numbers of Europeans to settle in Morocco.
