This report by the Institute for Security Studies analyzes Morocco's development trajectory toward 2043, comparing a 'Current Path' forecast with eight sectoral scenarios and a combined 'Agenda 2063' scenario. It highlights Morocco's transition toward higher-value manufacturing, its strategic geographic position, and critical challenges including water scarcity, energy import dependence, and regional territorial disputes.

This introductory report provides a geographic, political, and demographic overview of the Kingdom of Morocco, detailing its territorial disputes, governance structure, and climate vulnerability.

This report presents a Sustainable Asset Valuation (SAVi) assessment of the Contournement de Rabat (Rabat bypass) road project in Morocco. Using system dynamics and project finance modelling, the study evaluates the financial viability of the 41.1 km toll road across six risk scenarios and incorporates the valuation of four key externalities: discretionary spending from labour income, social cost of carbon, value of time saved, and the cost of accidents.

This report applies the Sustainable Asset Valuation (SAVi) methodology to the Rabat bypass road project in Morocco, a 4.1 km toll road including the Mohammed VI bridge. The analysis evaluates the project's financial viability and the impact of various operational risks and external factors, such as carbon costs and accident rates, over a 50-year service life.

A coalition of organizations wrote to the U.S. Trade Representative in 2004 requesting that the USTR increase transparency in trade negotiations by publishing proposed agreement texts and negotiating proposals on its website and soliciting public comment via the Federal Register. The authors argue that the current ad hoc disclosure process risks bias and excludes non-insider stakeholders, suggesting that the U.S. should require negotiating partners to agree to such transparency as a condition of entry into negotiations.

This case study describes the application of the Sustainable Asset Valuation (SAVi) methodology to the Rabat bypass road project in Morocco. The analysis, conducted by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) for Autoroutes du Maroc (ADM), evaluates the financial impact of operational risks and external factors—such as CO2 emissions and accident costs—that are typically omitted from conventional financial analyses.

This situation report describes an interactive roundtable seminar organized by the African Security Analysis Programme of the Institute for Security Studies.
