This book explores the political games of the Moroccan
democratization process in the period from independence in 1956
until 2006. By combining a great degree of political theory with
empirical material on Morocco, it analyzes the strategies and
actions of the various political actors and evaluates the level of
democracy present in the country after the adoption of new
constitutions in 1962, 1970, 1972, 1980, 1992 and 1996. Lise Storm
demonstrates that in at least some instances, democratization has
been more than simply a survival strategy - every so often, key
figures within the political elite have taken the democratization
process further than strictly needed for them to stay in power. In
the case of Morocco, it has been the monarch who on more than one
occasion has moved the country further towards the democratic ideal
than he necessarily had to, and that sometimes even against the
wishes of one or more of the established political parties. This
book illustrates how the Moroccan political parties, like so many
of their counterparts in the region, have become the main obstacle
to further democratization as most of them have never honoured - or
appear to have abandoned - the key function of political parties:
popular representation. Democratization in Morocco will be a very
valuable contribution to students and researchers interested in the
dynamics behind the Moroccan democratization and the role of
electoral politics in North African and Middle Eastern politics.
