The Moroccan Advanced Regionalization and its Implementation Constraints

Tawfik Sellouk

Abstract: This article examines the reality of regional development in Morocco under the new version of advanced regionalization. On several occasions, all the royal messages, letters and speeches aim at implementing an all - inclusive development model that takes into account the uniqueness of all provinces and that includes major projects designed to meet the expectations and aspirations of inhabitants in the regions. Still, this enormous project, which requires the involvement of a vast array of actors, is struggling to overcome a number of challenges related to the interference of political prerogatives among participant parties; the complications of participatory democracy as well as the crisis of renewing political elites.

Keywords: regionalization, territorial management, constraints, advanced regionalization
