Overview
Speaker: Aboubakr Jamaï, Former Publisher of Le Journal Hebdomadaire (Casablanca)
Mr. Jamaï will discuss whether Morocco is on the path to democratization.

While civil society's vibrancy attests to the existence of the ingredients of democratization, is the power elite's engagement in favor of democratization dubious?
