“Morocco’s Strategy against Terrorism” is the new book by president of the Moroccan Center for Strategic Studies (CMES), Professor Mohammed Benhammou, which has just been published by French publisher “L’Harmattan”.

A reference work on the matter, this book is for specialists in strategic and geopolitical issues and it sheds light on the Moroccan strategy for preventing radicalization and combating terrorism.

The book by Prof. Benhammou, also president of the African Federation for Strategic Studies, tackles the threat in a regional context marked by recurring uncertainties, particularly in terms of security. This work also assesses the progression of threats in the strategic depth of Morocco represented by the Sahel-Sahara and West Africa.

In his book, the international expert in strategic and security issues surveys Morocco’s structural approach, with a view to effectively fighting the deep roots of extremism. An approach focused on human development, the restructuring of the religious field, the upholding of the rule of law, security governance and international cooperation, wrote the French publisher in a presentation note.

This conceptual extension cannot be understood without seeing its instrumentalisation in a more extended line of conflict, materialized by the phenomenon of so-called hybrid, asymmetric wars, or even 4th generation wars.

“Morocco’s strategy against terrorism”, which also does not fail to assess the future progression of the terrorist threat on national and regional security, compiles the efforts of the various departments of the Kingdom and their synergy, while shedding light on the interweaving of the terrorist threat in its conceptual framework.

Professor at Mohammed V University in Rabat, Benhammou organized the largest annual conference on security in Africa “Marrakech Security Forum” which brought together more than a hundred high-level participants in order to analyze, debate and discuss security issues.

He received the International Prize for Foresight and Strategic Research from the Dakar Center for Diplomatic and Strategic Studies.
