Les Mardis du PCNS 30/03/2021 : العلاقات المغربية الأمريكية تحت إدارة الرئيس بايدن

April 5, 2021

يخصص مركز السياسات من أجل الجنوب الجديد حلقته الاسبوعية لحديث الثلاثاء لمناقشة العلاقات المغربية الأمريكية تحت إدارة الرئيس بايدن، رفقة تاج الدين الحسيني، محلل سياسي وأستاذ القانون الدولي بجامعة محمد الخامس شهدت العلاقات المغربية الأمريكية في السنوات الأخيرة تطورا مهما، سواء من خلال زيارات مسؤولين رفيعي المستوى من الولايات المتحدة إلى المملكة المغربية، أو التوقيع على العديد من الاتفاقيات، وتطوير التجارة، والتنسيق المشترك. قوة هذه العلاقة تكمن في أن المغرب قد يكون الدولة الوحيدة في منطقتنا التي تمتلك آليات غير مسبوقة في علاقتها مع الولايات المتحدة بحكم إعلان المغرب كشريك استراتيجي خارج حلف شمال الأطلسي، وبرامج للتعاون، وكذا العديد من الاتفاقيات التجارية والثقافية. قيمة مضافة كبيرة كذلك، تلك التي يجنيها المغرب من علاقته مع الولايات المتحدة الامريكية، تتجلى أساسا في تأهيل النسيج الاقتصادي، وتنويعه وتقويته، والرفع من طاقاته الإنتاجية؛ مما قد ينتج عنه امتلاك المغرب لمقومات ومزايا تنافسية، تمكنه أولا من الاستجابة لطلبيات السوق الأمريكية الواسعة، ثم بعد ذلك، ولوج الأسواق الخارجية، وخاصة الإفريقية؛ وبالتالي تحقيق ربح اقتصادي يتيح له تعزيز موقعه في علاقاته السياسية والدبلوماسية، الإقليمية والدولية. ماهي العوامل التاريخية والاستراتيجية المؤطرة للعلاقات المغربية الأمريكية؟ أين تتجلى مظاهر وأشكال علاقات التعاون بين الطرفين؟ وما هي آفاق العلاقات المغربية الامريكية في ظل الرئاسة الجديدة بالولايات المتحدة؟ ثم ما هي السياسة الخارجية للولايات المتحدة في الساحة الدولية، وعلى رأسها العودة إلى الساحة الأوروبية، وما إذا كانت هذه الإدارة ستستكمل برنامج أوباما وكلينتون في القارة الأفريقية 30 دقيقة: العلاقات المغربية الأمريكية تحت إدارة الرئيس بايدن المسيّرة: إيمان لهريش، مسؤولة عن البرامج بمركز السياسات من أجل الجنوب الجديد المتدخل: تاج الدين الحسيني، محلل سياسي وأستاذ القانون الدولي بجامعة محمد الخامس

    Twenty years after negotiations began between Mercosur and the European Union (EU), a trade agreement between ministers was reached last Friday in Brussels. Its first phase, from 1999 to 2014, had among the motivations on the European side not to be left behind while the US then pursued a Free Trade Agreement for Latin America (FTAA). Symptomatically, such enthusiasm cooled after FTAA negotiations came to a halt and the United States embarked on bilateral agreements with some countr ...

    Few weeks ago, I gained the chance of reading the UN Security Council resolution 2468 of 30 April on MINURSO , and was surprised by the frequently repeated expression of “Morocco, the Frente Polisario, Algeria, and Mauritania”, instead of the previous “all parties and neighbours”. Besides, it was reported that the US representative twice referred to “Morocco, the Frente Polisario, Algeria, and Mauritania” in his short remark in the Security Council meeting1. Shortly after that, I co ...

    Caribbean and African ties run deep. They are based on a shared history, culture, and sense of a common identity forged by the slave trade which forcibly relocated more than 10 million Africans to the New World, in the process, creating large centres of African Diaspora in the Caribbean and elsewhere. The common historical experiences of slavery and colonialism inspired formation of the Pan-African Movement in the first half of the 1900’s led by the African Diaspora outside of Afric ...

In the first years of the current decade, Chinese investment has been widely welcomed in an environment characterized by declining investment rates and low economic growth. However, more recently, some concerns have been raised of an “excessive” dependence of China state companies in sectors perceived as stra ...

    The cooperation between Brazil and Morocco dates back to the 19th century, when Moroccan migrants came to Brazil attracted by the then booming exploration of rubber in the Amazon rainforest. In 1861, the Brazilian government opened its first consulate in Tangier.  But it was only since 1961, with the Moroccan independence, that the bilateral relations began to diversify. At the political sphere, there has been a fluid dialogue, driven by convergent views on several issues related t ...
