  • Ambiguous Agreement in a Wastewater Reuse Project in Morocco
    www.water-alternatives.org Volume 13 | Issue 2 Ennabih, A. and Mayaux, P.-L. 2020. Depoliticising poor water quality: Ambiguous agreement in a wastewater reuse project in Morocco. Water Alternatives 13(2): 266-285 Depoliticising Poor Water Quality: Ambiguous Agreement in a Wastewater Reuse Project in Morocco Amal Ennabih Sciences-po Lyon, UMR Triangle, Lyon, France; [email protected] Pierre-Louis Mayaux CIRAD, UMR G-EAU, Univ Montpellier, Montpellier, France; [email protected] ABSTRACT: How are depoliticising discourses on water issues produced and rendered effective? Research on discursive depoliticisation has focused on the ability of different types of policy networks to generate powerful and reasonably coherent depoliticised narratives. In the paper, by tracing the depoliticisation of poor water quality in a wastewater reuse project in Marrakesh, Morocco, we suggest that depoliticised discourses can also be produced in a much more dispersed, less coordinated way. In the case analysed here, depoliticisation occurred through an 'ambiguous agreement' around a highly polysemic idea, that of innovation. All the key actors understood that the project was innovative but that water quality was not a significant part of the innovation. This encouraged each actor to frame poor water quality as a strictly private matter that the golf courses needed to tackle on their own; however, each actor also had their own, idiosyncratic interpretation of exactly what this innovation was about and why poor water quality was in the end not that important. Showing how depoliticisation can be the product of mechanisms with varying degrees of coordination helps account for the ubiquity of the phenomenon.

Lakes, NJ Vancouver Toronto London Madrid New Delhi Singapore Hong Kong Sydney São Paulo Buenos Aires Newport, RI HALFWAY THROUGH THE VISION 2010 PLAN TIME-FRAME – WHAT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED SO FAR AND WHAT OF THE FUTURE? Morocco As has been much documented already, Morocco has immense plans and ambitions to become a tourist destination to enable it to compete effectively alongside other Mediterranean countries such as Spain, Italy and Greece. To briefly recap, the king of Morocco announced in January 2001 that tourism had been identified as a national priority; the government’s ‘Vision 2010’ (or ‘Plan Azur’) strategy embodied this strategy. From the outset the key objectives of Vision 2010 were as follows. To increase tourist numbers to 10 million per annum by 2010; The development of six new coastal resorts; The construction of 80,000 new hotel bedrooms, with two-thirds to be in seaside destinations; 600,000 New jobs to be created in the hotel and tourism industry. Alongside these objectives, which were essentially focused on the mass tourism sector, cities such as Marrakech and Casablanca also set out their own strategies to develop their share of the tourism market. These plans were launched at a time when the world economy was continuing to grow; however, this situation very quickly changed in 2001.

  • Merchants of Marrakesh
    FINAL VERSION: Monday May 14, 3:47 pm MST THE MERCHANTS OF MARRAKECH © By Spider Kedelsky “DO NOT buy anything until you get to Marrakech,” said Robert emphatically when I called him from Tangier. It was 2010, and my wife Joan and I were on our first trip to Morocco. Robert was right. When we got there, Marrakech was a wonder. The medina abounds with small streets, alleyways, courtyards and covered arcades filled with souks selling myriad of goods with treasures secreted among the mundane. Joan and I were staying in the home of our friends Robert Morris, a dealer in Pre- Columbian, Spanish Colonial and ethnographic art, and his wife Jewels, who produces jewelry fashioned with objects from many world cultures. Acting as an informed ethnographic art “tour guide” to his delighted friends, Robert took us to many of the small shops of his favorite merchants, those who also provide Jewels with much of her raw material. Joan and I were intrigued by their artifacts, and by the milieu, but the greatest pleasure was in meeting the elegant older gentlemen who owned the shops. Their obvious pride in their work, their expertise, and their refined manner were enormously impressive. At home one evening, Jewels remarked that theirs was a way of life that seemed to be coming to an end and that we should do something to document it. Together we devised an informal oral history project that would combine interviews with visual recordings. A year later, and after many email discussions with Robert, Joan and I returned to Marrakesh armed with a spiffy new camera that shot stills and HD video, and digital audio equipment.

Re-live the glory of these cities, with visits in between to Fes, Casablanca, Marrakech and Rabat on this unforgettable journey from Costa del Sol. The oldest former capital is Fes, which was established in the ninth century under Sultan Idriss II. After the fall of his dynasty, Marrakech became the capital under the Almoravides, but Fes regained status as capital twice since under different rulers. In the 12th century under Almohad control, Rabat was built and became the capital before being replaced by Meknes during the rule of Morocco's notorious sultan Moulay Ismael. Rabat again became capital under the French protectorate, and has since retained the title after Morocco’s independence. **Tours will be multilingual Highlights: Ferry across the Mediterranean Panoramic tour of Fez Mansour Gate in Meknes Fortune tellers, snake charmers, acrobats and dancers Tour of Casablanca's monuments Mohamed V Mausoleum and the Hassan Tower Itinerary Day 1 - Welcome to Morocco Breakfast at the hotel.
