Morocco, the challenge of power: Mr. Abdelmalek Alaoui tells us more at UEMF

As part of its intellectual programming and its desire to promote spaces for reflection on major contemporary changes, Euromed University of Fes hosted an exceptional meeting around the book Morocco, the challenge of power by essayist and economist Mr. Abdelmalek Alaoui, during an exchange moderated by Prof. Taoufik Ouazzani Chahdi, Advisor to the President of the University.

This intellectual event brought together students, teachers, researchers and members of the university community for a dense and stimulating dialogue dedicated to the historical, political and strategic trajectories of the Kingdom. Recently published, "Morocco, the challenge of power" offers an in-depth reading of the structural transformations Morocco has undergone since its independence, while questioning the perspectives of its positioning in a world marked by profound geopolitical, economic and technological recompositions.

During the discussions, Mr. Alaoui revisited the genesis of this ambitious work, the result of extensive research and analysis, conceived as a reflection on the historical forces that shaped contemporary Morocco's trajectory. The author traces the major stages of the construction of the Moroccan state, the successive economic transformations, the dynamics of international opening as well as the challenges that accompany the Kingdom's ambitions today.

In a dialogue that was both rigorous and accessible, Prof. Ouazzani Chahdi enriched the exchanges with questions about the factors that allowed Morocco to consolidate its development model, but also about the challenges that loom on the horizon of the coming decades. This conversation went beyond a simple presentation of a book to open a broader space for reflection on notions of sovereignty, development, resilience and strategic projection.

One of the common threads of this meeting focused on the uniqueness of the Moroccan path. Through his analysis, our guest defended the idea of a national trajectory built on a progressive dynamic, where institutional stability, adaptive capacity and strategic vision have been decisive levers. A reading that highlights a Morocco both ambitious and clear-eyed in the face of contemporary challenges.

Beyond historical and geopolitical considerations, this meeting offered students a privileged opportunity to interact with figures engaged in reflecting on major national and international issues. It also illustrates the University's vocation to make debate, intellectual dialogue and openness to major societal questions essential pillars of its academic mission.

The meeting ended with a book signing session, continuing the exchanges in a moment of closeness and sharing with the author. Through this initiative, UEMF reaffirms its commitment to foster a culture of enlightened debate and to promote high-level exchanges around the issues that shape Morocco today and tomorrow.
