Rethinking the Social Contract and Environmental Justice Through Women’s Activities in Morocco’s Southeastern Oases
This article investigates the evolving role of rural women in Moroccan oases, focusing on how environmental change, particularly water scarcity, impacts their position within the social contract. Employing a conceptual framework that combines social contract theory with environmental justice perspectives, the study examines women’s access to protection, provision, participation, and recognition. Field research in the Drâa-Tafilalt region reveals …
Social Contracts and Environmental Change
Environmental change can affect social contracts, which are the relationships between societal groups and between such groups and the state. Droughts, river pollution and rising sea levels often change the distribution of resources within countries or harm some societal groups more than others, raising questions about compensation. Social contracts can also trigger environmental change, mainly because the environment and future generations cannot…
Moving towards smarter social contracts? Digital transformation as a driver of change in state–society relations in the Mena region
Digitalization has far-reaching yet under-researched impacts on state–society relations. This article addresses this gap and explores digitalization as a driver of change to social contracts. The conceptual framework explains how it changes (a) the state's duty to grant protection, provision, and participation in exchange for legitimacy; (b) the modes of state–society interaction; and (c) the contracting parties with respect to their location and…
Intermediary organizations, international cooperation and the changing social contract
In 2021, King Mohammed VI's appointed commission released a new vision for Moroccan state-society relations: the New Development Model (Nouveau Modèle de Développement, NMD). Presented as a 'national collective and federative project', it entailed a social protection system called a 'social pact' or 'social contract'. The King's vision articulated in the NMD promises changes that many Moroccans have long been calling for. The government has creat…
Drivers of change in social contracts
Social contracts have recently re-emerged as a field of research. They can stabilize the relationship between state and society by establishing some predictability about the mutual deliverables between actors - especially if they are flexible for modifications to take account of changes in the framework conditions, the positions and preferences of their parties, and prevailing norms, values and ideologies. The question is, thus, when, why and how…
The rural social contract in Morocco and Algeria
Against the background of degrading livelihoods, mounting inequalities and related protests in rural areas of Morocco and Algeria, this article mobilises the concept of the rural social contract to analyze changes in the strategic alliances between central regimes and rural elites. It reveals how economic liberalisation reforms have affected the agricultural sector and changed the way both regimes grant their supporters access to water and land i…
How Can Water Sector Cooperation Support Democratic Governance? Insights from Morocco
This paper analyzes how development cooperation can actively support democratic governance through cooperation in the water sector. To answer this question, we develop an analytical approach based on democratization research and on water governance research. We tested the approach in three donor-supported water projects in Morocco and carried out over seventy interviews with key stakeholders. Our findings show (a) key factors influencing the scop…
The social contract as a tool of analysis
The term “social contract” is increasingly used in social science literature to describe sets of state-society relations – in particular with reference to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Nevertheless, the term has thus far remained insufficiently conceptualized and its potential to inform a systematic analysis of contemporary states has been underutilized. This article contributes to the filling of this gap. It defines social contracts a…
Decentralisation in Morocco
After 2011, several Arab states initiated decentralisation reforms to address the demonstrators' demands for more participative governance and more efficient public services. Taking Morocco's new decentralisation reform as a case in point, this article assesses the requirements for, and impediments to, progress. It discovers that the reform articulates important democratic principles and formally opens new spaces of action that may facilitate mor…
A New Rural Social Contract for the Maghreb? The Political Economy of Access to Water, Land and Rural Development
The social contract, as the basis of the relations between rulers and populations in the Maghreb region, is highly contested especially since 2011. However, the rural dimension of this phenomenon remains yet under researched. Building on related emerging critical studies, this paper coins the term of a ‘rural social contract’ and analyses what it embodies. It highlights how the unequal ownership and use of water and land resources contribute to t…

La goutte d’eau qui fait déborder
“Les prochaines guerres seront conduites pour l’eau” déclara le président de la Banque Mondiale, Ismail Serageldin, en 1995, en prévoyant de potentielles opérations armées entre États. Il fut largement soutenu dans sa vision par le secrétaire général de l’ONU de l’époque, B. Boutros Ghali, ainsi que par de nombreux médias. Mais, face à la pénurie alarmante de l’eau, observe-t-on effectivement l'éclosion de conflits armés entre États ? Dans cet ar…
