Abstract
It is commonly perceived in the public opinion that the Moroccan foreign policy since the Cold War has been largely western-oriented; in fact, more specifically, the Moroccan foreign policy is said to be developed in compliance with the will of the United States of which Morocco is extremely dependent. Although the Moroccan external endebtment has been decreasing during the past decades, it remains very high and puts the moroccan economy in a state of dependence vis-à-vis the international financement instititions. At the same time, Morocco has undergone a profound program that aims at leveling-up the different aspects of Moroccan human development, which has kept the moroccan State in the shadow of international relations. Different questions have aroused over this period of the moroccan development. How strongly is Morocco aiming at becoming a powerful country? Is the fact that Morocco is in constant accord with the American superpower favorable to its future rise as an emerging power? Is Morocco truly fulfilling its own interests? What are the Moroccan interests?
