“…Les élections législatives du 8 septembre 2021 ont été marquées, d'une part, par la défaite du Parti (islamiste) justice et développement, au gouvernement depuis 2011 (López García & Kirhlani, 2021), et, d'autre part, la formation d'une majorité parlementaire composée de trois partis seulement : le Rassemblement national des indépendants (RNI), le Parti authenticité et modernité (PAM) et l'Istiqlal. Ces trois formations ont une particularité commune : le secrétaire général du premier (Aziz Akhannouch) et du troisième (Nizar Baraka), et le fondateur du second (Fouad Ali El Himma), sont considérés comme des « proches du palais » (Desrues, 2020). De plus, c'est l'une des rares fois qu'un gouvernement est soutenu par une majorité plus ou moins ramassée (trois partis seulement) et plus ou moins cohérente idéologiquement puisque ses composantes tiennent des discours et se réclament de tendances politiques et économiques assez proches, voire quasiment similaires.…”

L’instabilité constitutionnelle au Maroc traduit de véritables enjeux de pouvoir. Au cœur de cette dynamique, le parlement est une des institutions qui a connu le plus de changements tant au niveau de sa structure que ses attributions. La dernière réforme constitutionnelle de 2011 n’a pas dérogé à la règle. Dans cet article, nous présenterons les avancées et les limites que révèlent l’exercice du pouvoir monarchique, gouvernemental et parlementaire au cours des dix dernières années. Il s’agira de vérifier si la nature du régime tend à limiter l’ampleur de cette dynamique eu égard à la prééminence du Roi et aux pouvoirs du gouvernement, limités certes mais variables.

“…When the failure to bring about 'either the breakdown of authoritarian regimes or transition to some form of post-authoritarian governance' (Heydemann, 2016) became clearly apparent, researchers more vocally explored the impact of the closing of democratic horizons on Islamist politics in terms of the repression-radicalization hypothesis 1 (Lynch & Schwedler, 2020). This was in contrast with the early post-uprising scholarship on Islamist politics focusing on the role of Islamist actors in political transitions and in authoritarian survival (Desrues, 2020;Lynch & Schwedler, 2020;Maghraoui, 2020).…”

Since 2011, considerable upheavals in domestic politics, shifting regional power balances and international shocks have been greatly affecting Islamist movements and parties coming to the forefront of the political arena in Tunisia, Egypt and Morocco. This Special Issue combines a more theoretical reflection upon the underappreciated interaction of domestic, regional and international factors with an empirical focus on the development of Islamists. It also enriches the case history of comparative politics analyses through the investigation of new relevant rational actors in countries whose political trajectories differ considerably. By opting for an inside-out perspective and actor-centered approach, we aim to overcome the 'compartmentalization' of the three levels of analysis and the 'obsession' with moderation for Islamists. Borrowing a set of mechanisms first identified by social movement and policy diffusion literature, this introduction lays out the analytical framework informing all the contributions which is based on adaptation, learning, competition, and collaboration dynamics.

“…S4), in part because most political parties are relatively young and not well institutionalized. Morocco’s legal framework allows for competitive legislative elections, but the transparency of the process is not guaranteed, and the King’s Palace continues to exert out-sized influence in the electoral process ( 18 ). Nonetheless, elections in Morocco are consequential for policy ( 19 ).…”

Can low-cost, scalable, online interventions increase youth informed political participation in electoral authoritarian contexts?

Young citizens vote at relatively low rates, which contributes to political parties de-prioritizing youth preferences. We analyze the effects of low-cost online interventions in encouraging young Moroccans to cast an informed vote in the 2021 elections. These interventions aim to reduce participation costs by providing information about the registration process and by highlighting the election’s stakes and the distance between respondents’ preferences and party platforms. Contrary to preregistered expectations, the interventions did not increase average turnout, yet exploratory analysis shows that the interventions designed to increase benefits did increase the turnout intention of uncertain baseline voters. Moreover, information about parties’ platforms increased support for the party closest to the respondents’ preferences, leading to better-informed voting. Results are consistent with motivated reasoning, which is surprising in a context with weak party institutionalization.
