Summary In this book, Eva-Maria Maggi argues that the European Union (EU) had an impact on institutional reform processes in North Africa in cases where major domestic actors agreed. She analyzes how political actors in Morocco used EU neighborhood policies to shape economic and environmental policy between 1995 and 2008. Maggi argues that it was not the design of the EUℓ́ℓs neighborhood policies but rather the will of change of domestic actors in Morocco that determined the pace, direction of reform and the extent to which the EU continues to play a role in them. While Moroccan politics were indeed ℓ́ℓeuropeanizedℓ́ℓ Maggi highlights the role of domestic actors who so effectively managed to put forth their own policy priorities and essentially ℓ́ℓmorocconizedℓ́ℓ the ENP. ℗ℓContents Actors and institutional change Actor-centered Europeanization Process tracing and qualitative content analysis Institutional change in Morocco European Neighborhood Policy towards North Africa and the Middle East EU impact on privatization and water policy in Morocco ℗ℓTarget Groups Academics and students of the social sciences especially political science EU and national administrators as well as foreign ministries, political foundations and think tanks ℗ℓThe Author Eva-Maria Maggi received her doctorate in political science from Helmut-Schmidt University, University of the Federal Armed Forces in Hamburg, Germany. She teaches European politics and international security at the School of Government and Public Policy at the University of Arizona in Tucson, USA.
