What does regression mean? politics and press freedom in Morocco and Tunisia
Despite legislation in Morocco and Tunisia protecting freedom of expression and the press, journalists working for traditional media outlets and activists posting on social media are both confronting increasingly repressive tactics, including arrests, imprisonment, and heavy fines. Freedom House, an American organisation monitoring democratic practices worldwide, awarded ‘free and independent media’ 1/4 to Morocco and 2/4 to Tunisia in 2020, 11 h…
Solidarity and the future of global social policy: Looking for direction in local social activism
This article follows on from an article written by Bob Deacon on the global politics of social solidarity. The article suggests that in an era characterized by social division and exclusion, global social policy has to pay more attention to concepts like community and solidarity.

Searching for a Different Future: The Rise of a Global Middle Class in Morocco
By examining how neoliberal economic reform policies have affected educated young adults in contemporary Morocco, Searching for a Different Future posits a new socioeconomic formation: the global middle class. During Morocco's postcolonial period, from the 1950s through the 1970s, development policy and nationalist ideology supported the formation of a middle class based on the pursuit of education, employment, and material security. Neoliberal r…
The Moroccan Subject in a Globalizing World
This article outlines a theory of subjectivity and social consciousness that complements prevalent debates in cultural studies about marginality and subjectivity. The article suggests that we can interpret the constitution of subjectivity sociologically as between the nation-state and global market integration. More broadly, we can think about social processes in global market capitalism through returning to class formation. The article draws upo…
