  The Arab Spring

  Europe and the Middle East

  Many European observers had initially hoped the Arab Spring would lead to similar democratic outcomes in the Middle East and North Africa as occurred in the 1990s across Central and Eastern Europe

  but we now know it did not.

  The Arab Spring

  Europe and the Middle East

  In this book

  I argue that the European Union (EU) had an impact on institutional reform processes in North Africa in cases where major domestic actors agreed. I analyze how political actors in Morocco used EU neighborhood policies to shape economic and environmental policy between 1995 and 2008. It was not the design of the EU‘s neighborhood policies but rather the will of change of domestic actors in Morocco that determined the pace

  direction of reform and the extent to which the EU continues to play a role in them. While Moroccan politics were indeed “europeanized” I highlight the role of domestic actors who so effectively managed to put forth their own policy priorities and essentially “morocconized” the ENP.\n
