Moroccan Foreign Policy under Mohammed VI, 1999-2014

This book presents a comprehensive survey of Moroccan foreign policy since 1999. It considers the objectives, actors and decision-making processes involved, and outlines Morocco's foreign policy activity in key areas such as the international management of the Western Sahara conflict and relations with the other states of North Africa, relations with the EU, US, and the Middle East. The book links the behaviour and discourses analysed to differing conceptions of Morocco's national role on the international scene and shows how these competing approaches to the country's foreign policy enjoy degrees of domestic consensus, and result in degrees of legitimation for the regime.
