Citizenship and migration in Arab Gulf monarchies
In many industrialized countries, the issue of migration has traditionally raised the question of whether migrant groups fully enjoy citizenship rights. Political debates about models of migration emphasize either the values of cultural diversity or the value of integration into ‘host’ societies, whereas fear and security concerns are often embedded in more populist debates. In the Arab Gulf region, as in many other regions, such as East Asia, th…
Reforming the Rule of Law in Morocco
Since the early 1990s, political reforms in Morocco have emphasized the establishment of a state based on the rule of law. Such references to the rule of law have often been attached to political projects such as alternance (1998–2002) or anti-corruption campaigns that stressed the administrative supremacy of laws. Given the fact that Morocco remains an authoritarian state, it is the aim of this article to illustrate that the meaning of rule of l…
Parliamentary Elections and Authoritarian Rule in Morocco
Regular elections have become a common feature in Moroccan politics. While elections were "contested" as an instrument of control until the mid-1990s, starting with the 1997 parliamentary elections —and followed by those in 2002 and 2007 —Morocco established an electoral system as the keystone of royal power based on limited political participation. At the same time, since 1997 the Moroccan political system has witnessed the arrival of a "newcome…
Civil Society and Political Change in Morocco
Taking Morocco as its focus, this book looks at the political change in the country since 1990. It places particular emphasis on key topics, such as civil society, human rights and reform, as vital issues for understanding the developments in the contemporary Middle East
Changing Politics from Below? Women Parliamentarians in Morocco
The issue of political change in an authoritarian state takes different forms, and one central form that it assumes concerns the introduction of women's rights and female politics. In Morocco, one celebrated issue has been the introduction of a 10 per cent quota system in 2002 in the lower chamber, which saw for the first time a significant number of women in the hitherto male-dominated Moroccan parliament. This legal change gives rise to a numbe…
Morocco after the Parliamentary Elections of 2002
On 27 September 2002, 13 million Moroccans were called to the polls in order to elect their 325-member lower chamber (Majlis an-Nawwah) for the next five years. A new government was to be formed, and for the first time in Moroccan history the scrutiny of legislative elections appeared to signify the re-election or rejection of a government in office. Earlier in the year, the Moroccan ministries of the interior and communication started a massive …
Civil Society, Political Change and the Private Sector in Morocco
The controversy over the private sector's ability to push for political liberalization has been at the centre of academic research on the connection between economic and political liberalization. This has been the case especially within the civil society debate, with its tendency to exclude the market from the agenda. In Morocco, however, the private sector has assumed a new role in the political system after years of inactivity. This has been an…
The dynamics of state and civil society in Morocco
Since King Hassan II started to soften Morocco's hard stance towards allegedly subversive organisations in the late 1980s, the formal sector of civil society in Morocco, in particular that of politically active non‐governmental organisations (NGOs), has seen a great increase in activities. Likewise, since the king's decision in 1998 to select a government consisting of former opposition parties (USFP and Istiqlal) under USFP leader Abderrahmane Y…
