SamenvattingThis study begins with an outline of the current theoretical debate about civil society and democratisation and examines how such general debates have informed studies of civil society in the Arab world. It analyses in depth the case of Morocco, where civil society activism has greatly increased in the course of the last decade, coinciding mainly with the arrival to power of King Mohammed VI. More specifically, this study examines three areas of civil activism in the Kingdom: women’s rights and the 2004 reform of the family Code; human rights and specifically the rights of political prisoners in the aftermath of the Casablanca bombings; the developmental issues related to the National Initiative for Human Development.
