Fouad Farhawi, a professor of public law and international relations at the Faculty of Legal and Economic Sciences at Mohamed I University in Oujda, gave a lecture entitled “Moroccan foreign policy in the context of international and regional transformations.”
The lecture, which was hosted by the Performing College Hall of the College in Nador, organized the Foreign Relations Team of the Laboratory of Legal and Political Studies of the Mediterranean countries at the male college, within the framework of a “university communication chain”.
At the beginning of this scientific meeting, Mohamed Galati, a professor of public law and international relations at Nador College, spoke about the subject of the lecture and its occasion, as well as the lecturer and his scientific interests, especially his book issued in 2017 under the title “Interactions of the strategy of the Arab region, Africa, and Turkey”.
In his lecture, Professor Farhawi talked about six contexts on the main topic; The European context, the African context, the American context, the Maghreb context, the Arab context, and the Asian context, linking these all the coasts with Moroccan foreign policy.
The lecturer concluded that “Moroccan foreign policy is going through a historical turn as a result of the major international transformations that we live in; Morocco’s political geography overlooks one of the most important disturbances of the world (the Strait of Gibraltar), with its views on two maritime façades; The Mediterranean Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean.
This geography is also linked, a professor of public law and international relations continues, “the desert space in Africa, which imposes on Morocco the hard work to follow the course of the international scene with the necessary accuracy; This is because we are witnessing a turbulent world in which alliances fluctuate and the strategies change at an amazing speed, “in its expression.
The spokesman continued: “We have been witnessing for the first time, five centuries ago, a struggle over the global leadership with an emerging Asian force, China, after hegemony was limited during this period to Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, French, British empires, and finally the American. In the stages of moving from one force to another, the struggle over the harassment and dominance of the seas emerges, while Morocco was historically either as a party to this conflict or a yard for it.
And the same academic added: “In the stage of the international transition that we are going through now, it is not excluded that Morocco, as a political geography, is concerned with the conflict now between the major powers, whether Western ones, such as the United States, Britain, France, Russia, or Asian, such as China, India, Japan and South Korea.”
This requires the lecturer, “engaging and pushing scientific and academic work in our universities in order to answer the major questions posed by the international transition and its impact on the Moroccan political geography, in order to contribute to developing capabilities on reading our international reality on the one hand, and contributing to directing Moroccan foreign policy for optimal investment of political geography.”
Farhawi concluded his scientific lecture by emphasizing that “the historical strategic mind of Morocco helps to generate questions and answers that link the past and the present of the country with its future among other nations of the world.”
The door for discussion opened, after Fouad Farhawi ended his lecture, by the attendees, professors and those interested in the field of law, who asked questions and opinions, the lecturer assumed interaction with it.
