Abstract:
This paper examines how the relationship between the state and the business community has changed over the past two decades in Morocco. In doing so the focus will be on the peak-business association operating in Morocco, Confédération Générale des Enterprises du Maroc (CGEM). Of particular interest are its historical evolution, ties with the state, and with business groups. Closely analyzing the missing link of the business community and its relationship with the state through the lens of the CGEM can reveal important aspects relating to the question whether the private sector can be an actor in democratization processes.
