“…With the exception of Egypt, the study of the foreign policies of North African states is underrepresented in most works that analyse international relations in the MENA providing comparative insights (Telhami and Barnett 2002;Brown 2004;Nonneman 2005;Korany and Dessouki 2009;Hinnebusch and Ehteshami 2014;Ismail and Perry 2014;Fürtig 2014;Fawcet 2016). Although some of these collective volumes include chapters on the foreign policies of Egypt (Doran 2004;Dessouki 2009;Aboul Kheir 2013;Monier and Ranko 2014), Morocco (Rosenblum and Zartman 2008) and Tunisia (Murphy 2014), very few works address North African foreign policies from a properly comparative perspective. Instead, the recent literature is dominated by single case studies like those by Zoubir (2004), Driss Ait Hamadouche (2014) and Thieux (2017) on Algeria; Shama (2014) on Egypt; and Hernando de Larramendi (1997), El Houdaïgui (2003), Zartman (2004), Willis and Messari (2005), Rosenblum and Zartman (2008) and Fernández-Molina (2016) on Morocco.…”

This article introduces the special issue by explaining why researching change and continuity in the foreign policies of North African states is relevant in spite of these countries' peripheral and 'subaltern' position within the global system. It situates the special issue's content in the context of the extant academic literature on the foreign policies of dependent/Third World/Global South countries, the foreign policies of MENA states and the consequences of the 2011 Arab uprisings in terms of international relations. It then moves on to discuss the case study selection by outlining key commonalities and differences between Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt in terms of historical, political and economic foreign policy determinants. The country case studies each focus on a particular level of analysis, from the global -Tunisia's financial predicaments and foreign debt negotiationsthrough the (sub)regional -Egypt's relationship of necessity with Saudi Arabia, Algeria's half-hearted policies towards the conflicts in Libya and Malito the domestic sphere -Morocco's power balance between the monarchy and the Islamist Justice and Development Party (PJD) heading the government, Libya's extreme state weakness and internal power competition among proliferating private actors -, reaching also the deeper non-state societal level -Mauritania's new forms of social activism questioning the official religious identity and the socio-political makeup of the state. The last part of the introduction critically relates the empirical findings of the special issue to theoretical debates on subalternity in International Relations and Mohammed Ayoob's subaltern realism in particular.
