La nouvelle région marocaine :  un espace de développement économique et politique 

 - Paris :  IIAP,  oct./déc. 1997 
<br/><br/> Regional organisation carried out in 1971 made the region a space for economic development. A new stage introduced by the law of 2 April 1997 must bring a fresh dimension of this, by making the region a space for political developments as well. This involves a redistribution of power in order to reverse the tradition of centralisation. In future the region will be a decentralised area with its own legal, administrative and financial status there by guaranteeing its autonomy. For this purpose significant means have been allocated to the region. Relations between regions and state are developing at two levels: that of classic means of administrative control, and that of state adaptation to this new space. With regard to this latter point, it is important that all state services think of the regional platform as providing an essential level upon which state might pursue its activities
