Economic Diplomacy Through Free Trade Agreements (Moroccan Case)

Abstract

Economic diplomacy is becoming more closely related to comprehensive development policy, especially in underdeveloped nations where echoes of the harsh rivalry of the global economy can still be heard. Morocco, classified as a developing country, is working to strengthen its economic diplomacy by opening up to the outside through concluding free trade agreements, which in turn shed light on the structural deficit in the Moroccan trade balance. This study aims to better understand Moroccan economic diplomacy, analyze its contribution while remembering all its limitations, evaluate the performance of Moroccan economic diplomacy, better understand the issues, and shed light on the practice of Moroccan economic diplomacy and its role in the integration of the Kingdom of Morocco into the global economy.
