This chapter analyses the impact of public participation in the 2011 Moroccan constitution-making process. It shows that even if the rhetoric of the regime deeply relied on the principle of public participation, in actual fact political parties, trade unions, social organisations and civil society had the possibility to influence the content of the new Constitution only to a very limited extent. Public participation was certainly higher compared to previous constituent processes, but was strictly controlled by the regime so as not to hinder by any means the supremacy of the monarchy in the constitution-making process.

Abstract

This chapter analyses the impact of public participation in the 2011 Moroccan constitution-making process. It shows that even if the rhetoric of the regime deeply relied on the principle of public participation, in actual fact political parties, trade unions, social organisations and civil society had the possibility to influence the content of the new Constitution only to a very limited extent. Public participation was certainly higher compared to previous constituent processes, but was strictly controlled by the regime so as not to hinder by any means the supremacy of the monarchy in the constitution-making process.
