A Comparative Political Economy of Tunisia and Morocco FROM THE PUBLISHER
This book examines the profound impact of European integration on two North African countries, Tunisia and Morocco. Confronting the theoretical literatures on the "entanglements" of the domestic and international realms, and the intricate role played by the middle-income state in the international arena, White provides the first detailed comparison of Tunisia and Morocco's post-independence political economies, especially in the context of the "Euro-Mediterranean Partnerships" signed with the European Union in the late 1990s.

White (government, Smith College) argues that Tunis and Morocco's contemporary economic difficulties are an outgrowth of their position on the periphery of an economic space dominated by Europe. He analyzes the two north African nations' political economies and their historical relationships to the European Union, concluding that Tunisia has become a "non-member member" of the EUa contributor without the power or privileges of membershipand that Moroccothough less tied to the EUis also profoundly affected by the European economy.
