In an article published in the Spring/Summer issue of the Journal of International Security Affairs, J. Peter Pham, director of the Atlantic Council’s Michael S. Ansari Africa Center, discusses political developments in Morocco in the wake of the so-called “Arab Spring.” The essay, “Morocco’s Momentum,” examines the sustainability and wider implications of the kingdom’s new constitution as well as the election and appointment of the country’s first Islamist-led government. It also looks at Morocco’s pivotal role in maintaining stability “in a region where violent extremist ideologies are increasingly merging with criminal and other networks.”
