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.

    Ghana achieved lower middle-income country status by 2011. However, its growth path in the previous decades did not lay the foundations for the economic transformation of Ghanaian agriculture and therefore its overall economy. It relied primarily on extractive and non-renewable resources (gold and oil) and cocoa exports, and it did not diversify. While much progress was made in poverty reduction, pervasive low productivity and job informality continue to condemn millions to poverty, ...

    Il est reconnu que la préservation et la revitalisation du patrimoine culturel est un vecteur de transformation socio-économique des nations. Les États africains se sont engagés dans des actions de réappropriation de leur patrimoine culturel: la restitution des oeuvres par les puissances occidentales exprime cette recherche de nouvelles formes de reconquête des symboles de l’identité africaine. Mais force est de constater que l’Afrique reste encore peu présente dans l’industrie mond ...

La littérature relative à la politique étrangère du Maroc, sa dimension symbolique (culturelle ou cultuelle) est relativement rare. Pourtant, il existe bien une diplomatie du culturel conférant une valeur ajoutée à la sa diplomatie générale. Elle se réfère à certains éléments constitutifs de l’i ...

    À la simple vue du titre de cet ouvrage, nombre de nos lecteurs et lectrices s’interrogeront sur les motivations qui ont conduit le Policy Center for the New South (PCNS) à traiter d’un thème relevant des questions culturelles. N’est-il pas un think tank spécialisé dans la géoéconomie et la géopolitique du Maroc et de l’Afrique ? Que signifie cette incursion dans un champ de réflexion en apparence loin de ses domaines de prédilection ? À ce questionnement légitime nous expliquons no ...

    This policy brief was originally published on t20ind.org   Despite the perception of abundant financial resources and technology worldwide, building quality project pipelines of sustainable infrastructure and securing funding for them remains a challenge for most developing countries. One potential solution to these obstacles is international cooperation among governments through enhancing cooperation among their national, regional, and multilateral development banks, which alread ...
