Reviews:
  • This is a very useful book for anyone interested in modern Morocco. . . . Michael Suleiman summarizes several recent surveys of Moroccan values. Saadia Sabah discusses `the interface between family and state.' And Dale Eickelman makes a number of interesting points about the king's utilization of Islam to undermine the secular Left as well as Morocco's fragmented Islamic movements. . . . The Political Economy of Morocco is an indispensable book for anyone interested in the political and economic situation of Morocco in the 1970s and 1980s.
    —International Journal of African Historical Studies
Description: The book begins with an interpretation of the restructured Moroccan political system during the past decade and continues with analyses of the makhzen (royal patronage system), parties, and public opinion. Three chapters provide a frank, hard-hitting examination of Morrocco's economic problems and conditions. There's an interesting interpretation of Moroccan socio-political relations based on mediation and bargaining. In addition, the contributors shed light on the Moroccan military in politics, the impact of the Saharan War on Moroccan domestic and foreign policy, the relation between religion and politics, and much more.
