Acknowledgments This project would not have been possible without the people who have supported me all the way through the stress, confusion, and passion that enabled me to write. I thank my committee members: Martina, Hanan, and Nizar, for their intellectual engagement and the political horizons they have opened to me throughout the past few years. My friends around the globe, I hope that reading these pages compensate you with the hours of counseling and listening you had to lead me through. Only you could understand my craziness. My family, although very far from sharing any political ideas, I must be thankful for your encouragement and concern of safety even when you did not know where in the world I was. I thank all the Saharawis who wanted to help by all means while I was in the camps. Many thanks for the NUSW for coordinating my stay and providing me with the logistics, and to the family that hosted me like a family member, not a stranger. I owe a particular debt to one person who shall remain unnamed for his own safety, who made my access to the Saharawi camps possible, and who showed a concern about my research and safety.

  • La Posición De La Corona En La Constitución Y Su Papel En El
    MOHAMED CHEKRAD (Universidad de Valencia) La posición de la Corona en la Constitución 1 y su papel en el sistema político marroquí 1. INTRODUCCION Desde los años noventa, Marruecos ha estado viviendo cambios que han incidido e incidirán de manera decisiva en su futuro; importantes ajustes políticos e institucionales que podrían desembocar en una transición a la democracia o, por el contrario, toparse con dificultades y abocar al país a procesos de recesión. En este escenario, los modelos occidentales –tanto los políticos y económicos como los sociales–, han entrado en contacto con identidades y valores arraigados en la cultura política, económica y social de base familiar y comunitaria que caracteriza a las sociedades árabes en general y, a la de Marruecos en particular. Si por un lado los desequilibrios y las desigualdades internas, así como las carencias en múltiples ámbitos, colocan a Maruecos en una posición débil en cuanto a su nivel de desarrollo, por otro lado los procesos de cambio iniciados en estos últimos años, así como el incremento de las relaciones sociales y económicas debidas a las migraciones, las inversiones y los acuerdos internacionales son cada día más importantes como lo son, en especial, las demandas y las actuaciones de la sociedad civil. ¿Hay algo más herético que leer el sistema político marroquí a través de una clave modernista, referida a los cánones de la democracia liberal? Por el contrario, ¿hay algo más restrictivo que aprehenderlo en función del enfoque tradicionalista, que prefigura los fundamentos originarios arabo-musulmán? Asociar en una misma reflexión estos dos valores referenciales no es una vía metodológica intermedia, ni tampoco una simple formula para encontrar una 1 El presente texto constituye una versión resumida, actualizada y adaptada del Capítulo V de la tesis doctoral que, con el título «Monarquía y transición a la democracia: un estudio comparado de los casos español y marroquí», y bajo la dirección del Prof.

The sudden collapse of allegedly stable regimes across the Mediterranean, the rising appeal of extreme politics in Europe and the United States, and uncertainty about future engines of economic growth all create a need to look at the world with fresh eyes and develop a new understanding about the way forward. The Transatlantic Leadership Seminar of the German Marshall Fund of the United States is designed to address this need. It provides transatlantic leaders from business, government, and civil society direct exposure to key actors and trends driving change inside and around Europe and the United States. Briefings, meetings, and site visits led by subject area experts allow a professionally and geographically diverse cohort to develop new insights and strategies for effective leadership in the 21st century. The seminar relies on GMF’s extensive network of partners and 30-plus years of cutting edge leadership development to create an intellectually stimulating experience of the highest quality.

    AN ASSESSEMENT OF THE ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL IMPACTS OF THE AGADIR AGREEMENT: PROMOTING PEACE AND STABILITY IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA. TARIK OUMAZZANE A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of The Nottingham Trent University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2018 1 "This work is the intellectual property of the author. You may copy up to 5% of this work for private study, or personal, non-commercial research. Any re-use of the information contained within this document should be fully referenced, quoting the author, title, university, degree level and pagination. Queries or requests for any other use, or if a more substantial copy is required, should be directed in the owner(s) of the Intellectual Property Rights.” 2 Abstract The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is currently experiencing unprecedented national, regional and transnational challenges. The emergence and intensification of wars and conflict, the rise in regional and Western military intervention, the increase in public discontent, and the mass displacement of refugees have become increasingly salient features of the political economy of the region. Nevertheless, efforts to achieve greater regional integration have continued since the Second World War. Bilateral, multilateral and region-wide projects have been established to facilitate intra-regional trade and promote political cooperation. The latest regional integration process is the free trade Agadir Agreement, signed in 2004 by Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt and Jordan. This thesis investigates the Agadir Agreement’s impact on economic integration, its effect on political cooperation, and its role in promoting peace and stability between participating states.
