Moroccan secondary school teachers’ perspectives on translanguaging implementation, perceived benefits, and challenges encountered
The recent shift to the exclusive use of French as a Medium of Instruction (MOI) for science subjects in secondary education in Morocco has raised concerns about the challenges faced by students who are weak in French and more proficient in their home languages. This study investigated secondary-school teachers’ perceptions regarding translanguaging in Moroccan classrooms, with a focus on the way they conceptualize and implement it in practice, a…
A constructivist inquiry into English-Medium Instruction in Moroccan higher education
As Morocco undergoes a shift in its linguistic landscape, English has gained prominence as a key medium for academic and professional mobility, particularly in science, technology, and business fields. This study investigates the recent implementation of English-Medium Instruction (EMI) at tertiary education in a context traditionally dominated by French and Arabic. In particular, it explores the perceptions, experiences, and strategies of Morocc…
L2-French-medium instruction (FMI) in Moroccan secondary education
Exploring English-medium instruction (EMI) in health sciences
Purpose This study aims to examine the adoption of English medium instruction (EMI) in Moroccan higher education by exploring university students’ perceptions and experiences in an English-taught Health Sciences program at the University of Mohammed VI for Health Sciences in Casablanca. Design/methodology/approach The study follows a qualitative research design, drawing on the principles and techniques of Grounded Theory methodology. Data was col…
Management teams' attitudes towards the Implementation of Content and Language Integrated Learning in Moroccan secondary education
Following the Free Officers
Observers have long posited that military coups can spread across borders, yet empirical support for such contagion remains inconsistent. We argue that existing analyses overlook key dynamics that shape both the ability and disposition of actors to emulate foreign coups. First, conventional approaches privilege immediate imitation, obscuring how post-coup trajectories abroad recalibrate would-be plotters’ incentives over time. Second, prior work …
Exploring the Impact of Positive Levers of Control on Organisational Resilience
This study explores how positive control levers (belief systems and interactive control systems) affect organisational resilience, focusing on the role of open innovation as a mediator. Data were collected through a questionnaire administered to business managers and analysed using the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) approach. The sample comprised 349 Moroccan industrial companies. The results demonstrate that positi…
The Varieties of Civilian Praetorianism
This study explores the varieties of civilian praetorianism or the different ways in which civilians enable and support military coups. It specifically argues that by shaping their access to different sets of resources, civilians' proximity to the political establishment and their level of social capital influence their method of support. Civilians linked to the political establishment wield resources better suited for enabling praetorianism thro…
Exploring multilingual education in Morocco
The Moroccan Ministry of Education has recently implemented a multilingual programme, called ‘language alternation’ (LA). The programme aims at improving students’ foreign language (FL) proficiency level and promoting plurilingualism by using French, English, and Spanish, for the teaching of math, physics and life and earth sciences at the secondary level, instead of the official language, Arabic. The study sought to understand this new tendency …
Sourcing and Bias in the Study of Coups
The last two decades have seen an increased focus on reporting bias in large-N datasets. Research on coups d’etat has similarly increased given the availability of coup datasets. This essay argues that while the availability of such data has pushed scholarship forward, the data collection process behind these efforts remains plagued with limitations common to event datasets. Rather than building on what previous projects have accomplished, resear…
English-medium instruction (EMI) in Moroccan higher education
Purpose The purpose of this study is to contribute to the ongoing debate about the instructional languages in Moroccan education through exploring graduate students’ attitudes towards the potential use of English-medium instruction (EMI) in Moroccan science universities. Design/methodology/approach In this study, 17 master and doctoral students have been interviewed to explore attitudes towards EMI implementation in Moroccan higher education. The…
Forum
The term “coup” has been used to describe a diverse range of events. Although recent decades have seen the academic study of coups focus on an increasingly narrow type of military intervention in politics, the general public, governments, and international organizations frequently apply the coup label to a broader set of antidemocratic actions. This was dramatically illustrated after the overrunning of the US Capitol Building on January 6, 2021, …
Between Coups and Election
This article investigates how armies re-entrench their power after thwarting democratic transitions. After the Sudanese military staged a coup in October 2021 and altered the transitional constitution, coup leader Abdelfattah al-Burhan announced the military's withdrawal in July 2022 after. We argue that these constitutional changes leveraged existing institutions in the military's favour to retain its influence over Sudanese governance. Using em…
Oil Wealth, Risk Acceptance, and the Seizure of Power
Though oil wealth is associated with poor economic performance, repression, civil war, and other maladies, the resource is also associated with increased regime durability. We explore this paradox by investigating the influence of oil wealth on coups d’état. Prior findings on the relationship between oil and coups have been inconsistent, a trend we argue is attributable to the varied and sometimes invalid specification of the dependent variable. …
