The Im­plic­a­tions of Spanish-Moroccan Gov­ern­ment­al Re­la­tions for Mo­roc­can Im­mig­rants in Spain

De­vel­op­ment sum­mary

The art­icle states that the Madrid at­tacks of 11 March 2004 had a pro­found effect on Spain’s do­mest­ic, for­eign and se­cur­ity policy and pro­duced neg­at­ive re­per­cus­sions for the ac­cept­ance and in­teg­ra­tion of Mo­roc­can im­mig­rants. It argues that Spanish-Moroccan gov­ern­ment­al re­la­tions create ad­di­tion­al dif­fi­culties for Mo­roc­can im­mig­rants in­teg­rat­ing into Span­ish so­ci­ety, and dis­cusses Spain’s mi­gra­tion con­text, ex­amples of dis­crim­in­a­tion against Mo­roc­cans and the ef­fects of bi­lat­er­al polit­ic­al crises.
