contents Morocco and the Mirages of Democracy and Good Governance Sami Zemni Koenraad Bogaert Relaciones Internacionales Morocco democratization good governance The growing contrast and contradiction between the processes of radicalization and democratizationin the age of global market reforms and the ‘War on Terror’ are not confined to the internal ordomestic Moroccan political scene. Political movements, NGOs, the government, internationalinstitutions and foreign governments are all embedded within a growing number of internationalnetworks thus making policy a global enterprise. In the following article we want to examine theimpact of US policy on the Moroccan reform process. The background for this analysis is George W.Bush’s Greater Middle Eastern Initiative. This US initiative is ambitious as it tries to devise policiesthat tackle what is seen as the root causes for Middle East instability, violence and/or Islamism.Morocco is seen as one of the US’s strategic allies in the region and has been solicited to join the‘War on Terror’. Morocco is an interesting case to study simultaneously the impact of the ‘War onTerror’, the implementation of a Free Trade Agreement and good governance measures as politicaltools to counter terrorism through fighting poverty and, finally, the ‘Islamist question’ particularlypresent in Morocco. 2006 artículo científico 2386-9453 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=76701206 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=767 Revista UNISCI application/pdf Universidad Complutense de Madrid Revista UNISCI (España) Num.12
