This joint Bruegel-OCP Policy Center publication comprised of four policy contributions from researchers of both institutions is the result of the establishment of “Platform for Advanced & Emerging Economies Policy Dialogue.” The first edition of this continuous dialogue took place in Rabat on April 1st 2016 under the theme of “Seven Years after the Crisis: Intersecting Perspectives.”

In the first paper, “Youth Unemployment in the Mediterranean Region and its Long term Implications”, written by Nuria Boot, Karen E. Wilson and Guntram B. Wolff, the focus is on the correlation between youth unemployment in the Mediterranean region and the problems that this leads to in Europe as a whole.

The second paper, “Energy Across the Mediterranean: A call for Realism”, by Simone Tagliapietra and George Zachmann, advises the European Union to draw lessons from two decades of unproductive regional cooperation attempts.

Karim El Aynaoui, Uri Dadush, Karim El Mokri and Rim Berahab contributed with the paper “The Unmet Challenge of Interdependence in the EU-MENA space: A View from the South”. They examine bilateral relations between Europe and the Arab world, especially as they relate to trade, migration, investment, and energy.

In “Industrial Policy, Structural Change and Global Value Chains Participation: A Case Study of Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt”, Abdelaaziz Ait Ali and Yassine Msadfa use two methods to analyse the pace of structural transformation (the positive change in manufacturing capability) in Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt.

Le succès des grandes entreprises américaines a persuadé un grand nombre d’acteurs que les nouvelles technologies constituent un levier de c ...

    April 25, 2019
    The “middle-income trap” has become a broad designation trying to capture the many cases of developing countries that succeeded in evolving from low- to middle-levels of per capita income, but then appeared to stall, losing momentum along the route toward the higher income levels of advanced economies. Such a trap may well characterize the experience of most of Latin America since the 1980s, and in recent years middle-income countries elsewhere have expressed fears of following a si ...

    April 23, 2019
    Imagining world trade without the WTO/GATT system. It was after all, the case through recorded history until around 1950. But today’s economies are far more globally integrated than in the past, and information technologies which facilitate communication and coordination are clearly pointing to even more integration in the future. Under a no-WTO scenario, this brief formulates seven predictions. The danger to the WTO is clear and present, and it is on four fronts. First is the fail ...

    The economic picture in South Africa is clear and well known: low economic growth, high unemployment rates, and constrained fiscal policy threatened by rating agencies. The causes of such situations are diverse and both internal and external. How can growth be boosted? The African continental free trade area offers a great opportunity to South Africa to take advantage of the continent’s more than one billion of potential consumers and build a new growth paradigm based on export (rat ...
