Analyses of state power in Morocco have always been mired in exoticism or exceptionalism. The Kingdom is said to be a prototype of political immobility; a country caught in the authoritarian and conservative grip of its monarch, known as the "Commander of the Faithful;" a state in need of democratization, but also a bastion of moderate Islam.

Drawing on thirty years of fieldwork, interviews and extensive primary documentation, B�atrice Hibou and Mohamed Tozy reveal how demographic, political and cultural changes have transformed Morocco's government and modes of domination, from its pre-colonial past to the present. Interrogating the ideas of 'Empire' and 'Nation-state' as particular forms of rule, they examine the legacy of the centuries-long Sharifian Empire, in relation to the contemporary neoliberal government. They show how imperial traditions and the modern state co-exist today, in an intricate tapestry of seemingly contradictory power relations, different understandings of legitimacy, and competing visions of authority, sovereignty and responsibility.

Drawing on the work of Max Weber and Michel Foucault, Weaving Political Time in Morocco is a comprehensive, comparative examination of the evolution and continuities of state power in this complex North African country.

Béatrice Hibou is CNRS Director of Research at CERI Sciences Po, Paris. Her books include The Force of Obedience and The Political Anatomy of Domination.

Mohamed Tozy, previously at Hassan II University of Casablanca, is Professor at Sciences Po (Aix) and the author of Monarchie et islam politique au Maroc.
