    Location decisions of firms and workers shape the spatial distribution of economic activity between and within cities. On one hand, the interaction between cities is widely investigated in the literature of regional and urban economics, which tries to assess the extent to which urban scale affects the local concentration of different skills, sectors, etc., apart from defining each city's role in the regional system. On the other hand, within-city dynamics and internal heterogeneity ...

    October 12, 2017
    Les théoriciens du Sud –mais aussi du Nord– participent de plus en plus aux débats mettant au centre les expériences du « Sud global » ainsi que le rôle de l’Afrique dans la nouvelle géo-économie mondiale. Le continent Africain subi encore des réflexions et théories qui ne prennent pas en considération les spécificités du développement et de l’émergence des sociétés africaines dans un contexte mondialisé contemporain. Dans cette optique, le colloque organisé par l’OCP Policy Center ...
  • The Education Puzzle
    Authors
    Thomas Awazu Pereira da Silva
    October 4, 2017
    Is Education in crisis worldwide? It surely is a fundamental issue of national and international development for Morocco’s policy makers. Recent reforms point to a key moment and momentum builder in public policy and policy implementation for the Kingdom. Policy makers agree that Education touches on fundamental themes of development economics as well as cognitive growth and ethics. It is behind human capital accumulation, and thus productivity and economic growth benefits from inte ...

    Dual transitions are under way in Cuba. The island is slowly opening its economy, and a new crop of younger political leaders, potentially more open to democratic norms, waits in the wings. A third transition, the rise of digital access, is also in an early stage. But it is this third transition that arguably has the most momentum and could significantly accelerate the first two. Cuba’s digital transition has largely been bottom up. The citizenry’s curiosity and ingenuity have push ...

    Brazil – Morocco : a Roadmap Ahead

    Marcus Vinicius de Freitas
    July 14, 2017
    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. From a revival in the cold war realist dispute of power between the United States and Russia, the collapse of International Law in relation to Ukraine, Crimea and the South China Sea, BREXIT and the imponderable results that may impact the European Union and to the possible d ...
  • Cohésion Sociale, institutions et politiques publiques
    Authors
    Abdallah Saaf
    July 13, 2017
    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 ...
