    Thinking creatively the bilateral relationship of Brazil and Morocco is quintessential for enhancing its reach and possibilities. The world is currently facing enormous changes whose outcomes are unpredictable.

    Le Maroc, avant les effets de la mondialisation, apparaissait comme une société de solidarité mécanique où l’intérêt collectif semblait prendre le dessus sur l’intérêt individuel. Comme l'affirmait Durkheim, « la cohésion sociale des petites sociétés (mécaniques) et indifférenciées, différenciées par une division du travail (organique) relativement complexe » (Britannica, 2016). Durant les transitions de cette nature, les individus s’interrogent sur leur existence en tant que citoye ...

    Authors
    Taoufik Abbad
    July 5, 2017
    Le processus continu et renforcé de l’accumulation du capital physique, dans lequel s’est engagé le Maroc depuis le début des années 2000, a permis de préserver la stabilité des équilibres fondamentaux et d’amortir les différents chocs exogènes, aussi bien internes qu’externes. Cependant, cet effort d’accumulation n’a pas permis d’insuffler un accroissement significatif des gains de productivité et d’accélérer la transformation de la base productive. Ce Policy Brief propose de décri ...

    Authors
    Taoufik Abbad
    July 5, 2017
    The continuous and reinforced process of accumulating physical capital, in which Morocco has embarked since the early 2000s, has helped to preserve the stability of the fundamental equilibrium and cushion the economy from various external and exogenous shocks. However, these accumulation efforts have not led to a significant increase in productivity gains or to an accelerated transformation of the productive base. This Policy Brief aims to describe the underpinnings of the capital a ...

    Challenges for Transatlantic Counterterrorism Cooperation in North Africa
    Authors
    Christopher S. Chivvis
    June 20, 2017
    The United States and Europe share a common interest in addressing the growing terrorist threats from North Africa.
