Here, Sylvia Bergh investigates the dynamics of popular participation and local governance, testing the extent to which the current structure builds local capacity, or whether it is, in fact, a tool for 'soft' state control. She narrates the realities of local administration and civil society to shed critical light on questions of democratic transition in North Africa. Her assessment of decentralisation and participatory development projects in rural Morocco, and the legal and policy frameworks in which they operate, leads to the conclusion that they have generally not yet led to an expansion of a civil society able to build local capacity or enhance bottom-up empowerment. Grounded in an approach of the 'anthropology of policy', this book makes an important contribution to literature on the democratisation, development and governance in North Africa."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aLibrary of development studies (London, England) 606 $aDecentralization in government$zMorocco 606 $aDemocracy$zMorocco 606 $aLocal government$zMorocco 606 $aPolitical participation$zMorocco 606 $aRural development$zMorocco 606 $2Regional government 607 $aMorocco$xPolitics and government$y1961-1999 607 $aMorocco$xPolitics and government$y21st century 615 0$aDecentralization in government 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aLocal government 615 0$aPolitical participation 615 0$aRural development 676 $a320.964 700 $aBergh$b Sylvia I$g(Sylvia Irene),$f1976-$01263081 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162795303321 996 $aThe politics of development in Morocco$92958140 997 $aUNINA
