Parliamentary diplomacy and the Western Sahara conflict
Reconstitución del Islam político libio en un contexto de revuelta
El estallido de la revuelta contra el régimen de Muammar Gadafi en febrero de 2011, la posterior guerra civil y los procesos legislativo y constituyente ulteriores han permitido a los islamistas ocupar el espacio público, reconstruir sus bases y completar su proceso de elitización. Los sectores islamistas se han unido al proceso de reconstrucción del sistema político, tanto a través de la participación en las elecciones, como en las instituciones…
Communist Parties in the Middle East
One hundred years since the Russian Revolution, Communist parties have undergone great changes, in an evolution that has affected the entire Left and the social movements. Given that the impact of Communist parties and their evolution in the Middle East is a topic that has not been widely researched, Communist parties in the Middle East. 100 years of history aims to cover a century in the lives of these parties, from the moment the Communist ideo…
The Transformation of the Power Structure and Security in Libya
The Libyan security sector has undergone a profound transformation since the 17 February Revolution in 2011. The Jamahiriya experience gave way to a period in which violence ceased to be predominantly a state monopoly, and a series of armed conflicts took place with important consequences for the security sector. This article applies the Sociology of Power to an analysis of the security sector as a complement to other theoretical focuses. This ap…
The ‘subaltern’ foreign policies of North African countries
This article introduces the special issue by explaining why researching change and \ncontinuity in the foreign policies of North African states is relevant in spite of these \ncountries’ peripheral and ‘subaltern’ position within the global system. It situates \nthe special issue’s content in the context of the extant academic literature on \nthe foreign policies of dependent/Third World/Global South countries, the \nforeign policies of MENA stat…
Political Islam in a Time of Revolt
The Western Saharan Members of the Moroccan Parliament
This chapter analyses the activity of the members of the Moroccan parliament for Western Sahara constituencies (MMPWS) during the ninth legislature (2011–2015). It examines the interactions between the local, national and international levels of analysis in the context of their “parliamentary diplomacy” and the impact of these MPs’ identity self-perceptions upon that activity. We discuss the implications of the dual profile of these MPs as repres…
Estructura de poder y desafíos populares. La respuesta del régimen marroquí al Movimiento 20 de Febrero
Popular uprisings in the Arab world have had very different characteristics and trajectories, including different responses by regimes in power and varied provisional outcomes. In this paper we take into consideration the structure of power (power regime), to complement an analysis focused on the political system, as a significant factor in explanations of these uprisings. Our hypothesis is that in a situation of social mobilization, the regime’s…
Muslim nationalism and the new Turks
These three works add to the burgeoning social science literature on Turkey. A review of these three works taken together allows us to analyse common themes (democratization, secularism, the nation
Armed Conflicts and Religious Factors
Before the 1990s, very little research had been done on the religious dimension in the dynamics of internal and international violent conflicts. Two factors may explain this: first, the lack of interest of a good part of international theory in peace research and conflict resolution in particular; and, second, the negative impact of the division between the major disciplines of social sciences and area studies. This article takes this insufficien…
Le Mouvement culturel amazigh (MCA) au Maroc
Au Maroc, le Mouvement culturel amazigh (MCA) a connu ces dernièresannées un processus impressionnant de rajeunissement et d’expansion de sa base sociale, dépassant les milieux universitaires et s’implantant dans le milieu rural où prolifèrent les associations culturelles. Ce mouvement, qui incorpore des revendications sociopolitiques plus ou moins prononcées selon les cas, se caractérise par le nombre important des associations, sa présence sur …
Global Civil Society Across the Mediterranean
The concept of global civil society began to be used regularly just a decade ago. Its formulation results from the application of the civil society concept to transnational political processes. This article reviews the networks created in recent years in the field of human rights in the Mediterranean and investigates to what extent these are exponents of the emergence of an alleged global civil society. Links and exchanges between very diverse hu…
A Two-Level Game
Spain has declared its aim to promote democracy and human rights abroad and specifically in Morocco. This goal appears very ambitious in view of the low degree of institutionalization and consolidation of Spanish human rights foreign policy mechanisms. Moreover, from the outset other factors rule out the possibility of Morocco becoming an object of forceful action: it has a better human rights situation than other North African countries and is o…
La apropiación de la temática de los derechos humanos por los regímenes marroquí y tunecino
La problemàtica dels drets humans emergeix amb força a finals de la dècada dels vuitanta a països com el Marroc i Tunísia. Un dels àmbits en què es manifesta aquest protagonisme és en l’apropiació de la temàtica per part dels règims al poder. En aquests anys s’introdueix amb força la qüestió en el discurs polític; s’implanten una sèrie de mesures adreçades a la prevenció de transgressions del dret i es creen institucions que han de vetllar per un…
