| Summary/Abstract |
This essay provides programmatic and administrative recommendations for the effective building of civil, governmental, and private capabilities to help implement human development driven by local communities in Morocco in light of the Arab Spring. The essay relates a human development model rooted in decentralization to situations with powerful regional implications: in Iraq, Palestine, and the Western (Moroccan) Sahara. The engine for sustainable human development depends on local communities and neighborhoods identifying, planning, and implementing the socioeconomic and environmental projects they most need. Morocco has created a number of essential national frameworks for promoting such development, but their implementation is inadequate due to a lack of financing, of effective training, and of the application of methods that promote communal dialogue and democratic planning. Human development is examined in the context of free trade, with particular attention paid to rural areas, where most poverty is concentrated.

| Summary/Abstract |
Yossef Ben-Meir critically analyses the national developmental model adopted by the Kingdom of Morocco through six policy frameworks that address the major economic and environmental issues and problems affecting Moroccan society, particularly its poorer sections. A lack of education and the persistence of top-down methods of governance are largely to blame for the inability to decentralize decision-making and harness widespread grassroots initiatives.

| Summary/Abstract |
Morocco's approach to implementing projects that preserve its multicultural identity integrates opportunities to advance sustainable development. The strategy is to identify ways to not only preserve culturally significant locations and knowledge but to also advance livelihoods, health, and education. The restoration of the Jewish cemeteries in Morocco, and growing adjacent to them community fruit tree nurseries, provides a vivid example of this model of linking multiculturalism and sustainable development. A different example involving the restoration of the historic mellah neighborhood in Marrakech presents the need to better galvanize community participation. Project experiences in the city of Essaouira will be introduced to help further illuminate these themes. Finally, the essay provides recommendations to improve the application of Morocco's cultural-development integrated model.

| Summary/Abstract |
Yossef Ben-Meir provides recommendations for promoting human development driven by local communities-vitally needed in the Arab Spring region-by analysing Morocco's experience and major ideas and lessons from the field of international development. He also connects decentralisation and human development to the cases of Egypt, Palestine and the Western Sahara and highlights their essential role in the context of globalisation and free trade.

| Summary/Abstract |
King Mohammed VI of Morocco has announced a national regionalization plan that includes the Western Sahara. Morocco's intention is to regionalize (or, essentially, decentralize) decision-making authority and management in socioeconomic development, political affairs, the judicial system, and other important responsibilities and institutions. The author describes Morocco's roadmap to regionalization, analyzes its principal elements, and presents recommendations for its strategic implementation. Regionalization could potentially establish the necessary conditions to resolve the Western Saharan conflict, but only if it genuinely advances the political, social, economic, and environmental fulfillment of the people living there.
