The limits of limited reforms

Article Abstract:

The democratization of Morocco through electoral processes that complied with the intentions of the Moroccan monarch King Mohamed VI is discussed. His tailored reforms that limited the power of all political parties, even if victorious, hinder democratic development in Morocco, and have thus led to popular protests against the results.

Islamists, technocrats, and the palace

Article Abstract:

The elections in Morocco demonstrate the declining influence of Islamists, while highlighting the monarchy's intention to adapt itself to the process of a tailored democracy. It is suggested that the Islamists realize the need to coordinate with the monarchy and are thereby including technocrats in their political agenda.
