Parliamentary diplomacy and the Western Sahara conflict
Regionalisation under occupation
This article explores the role played by the Members of Parliament elected from the constituencies of Western Sahara in 2011 in the occupation strategies employed by the Moroccan state in this territory. The analysis begins at a time when territorial power was being redefined in Morocco, after the Moroccan proposal for an Advanced Autonomy Plan (2007) as a form of conflict resolution and the subsequent creation of institutions to address regional…
Revueltas y movilizaciones populares en el Rif
En este artículo se propone una perspectiva diacrónica para analizar las revueltas políticas y movilizaciones sociales en el Rif a lo largo del siglo XX y principios del XXI, considerando la marginalidad de la región y sus élites en el régimen de poder marroquí. La tensión entre la agencia social y los factores estructurales se despliega en una sociedad rifeña que ha pasado de ser una sociedad eminentemente tribal a otra influida por el neolibera…
Acumulación y resistencias en el norte de África y Oriente Medio. Colonialismo, poscolonialismo y neoliberalismo
En este artículo analizamos el entrelazamiento de factores externos e internos en las movilizaciones sociales en la región de Oriente Medio y el Norte de África desde el siglo xix, cuando la región queda definitivamente subsumida a los procesos de modernización económica y política mundiales. El impacto de la influencia exterior depende directamente de su relación con el peso de los recursos de poder en cada momento: la tierra, el Estado moderno,…
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…
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…
Les migrations en transit au Maroc. Attitudes et comportement de la société civile face au phénomène
Pour des milliers d’immigrants en provenance d’Afrique subsaharienne, le Maroc est la dernière étape avant d’arriver en Europe. Le propos de cet article est d’analyser quelques unes des attitudes des principaux acteurs politiques et sociaux marocains face à ce phénomène. La réactivité et la variabilité de l’attitude des autorités marocaines mettent en évidence la double dépendance d’une gestion centrée sur le sécuritaire et influencée par les pre…
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…
