Trade, security and neoliberal politics: whither Arab reform? Evidence from the Moroccan case.
This paper argues that the growing contrast between the processes of radicalisation and democratisation in the age of global market reforms and the 'War on Terror' are not confined to the domestic Moroccan political scene. Political movements, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), civil society, go...

Political movements, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), civil society, governments, international institutions and foreign governments are all embedded within a growing number of international networks. The central problem of political and economic reform today lays in the ways it is conceptualised and implemented through a free market ideology that transfers power from the state to new 'hybrid' governmental arrangements where 'state' and 'market' seem to become a symbiotic pair. Within the site of the still powerful nation-state therefore the disappearing traditional boundaries of inclusion and exclusion - formerly readily apparent in and logically deriving from national affiliations - are changing and altering. The main argument is that, contrary to dominant discourses, that democracy promotion through market reform does not bring forth overall economic growth and prosperity which will lead eventually to political liberalisation. Instead these reforms are inducing uneven geographical developments that do not trigger incentives for democratic accountability. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
