The Moroccan State and Moroccan Citizens Abroad

  • Chapter
Emigration Nations

Part of the book series: Migration, Diasporas and Citizenship Series ((MDC))

Abstract

Emigration from Morocco has exemplified every significant shift in the broader Euro-Mediterranean migration system over the past 50 years. Throughout that time Morocco has been the focus of academic and policy research into the changing profiles of migrants and the nature and impacts of their movement, much of this research influencing the way we think about migration itself and the most appropriate policy responses to it (Collyer et al., 2009). It is therefore no surprise that the relationship between Moroccan emigrants and the Moroccan state typifies the general trend suggested by this volume: from ‘controlling’ to ‘courting’ according to Hein de Haas (2007) or ‘from being expendable, minimally endowed subjects, to a valuable resource that generates additional scarce resources’ according to Laurie Brand (2006: 69).
