In late 2010, the Arab Spring spread from a small town in Tunisia to engulf most of the MENA region. Morocco’s Arab Spring lasted from the 20th of February to the 9th of March of 2011, but largely concluded after a televised address wherein King Mohammed VI pledged to make changes to the constitution. Although driven by many of the same grievances as protestors in other Arab Spring countries – including lack of rights, high levels of inequality, political corruption, and the absence of truly meaningful elections – the Moroccan Arab Spring was comparatively short-lived. My paper seeks to understand why the regime’s promise of reforms were largely successful in extinguishing the Moroccan Arab Spring, and thus were able to stabilize the regime in a time of great flux. I argue that Morocco’s history of social reforms has institutionalized the regime’s response mechanisms to widespread protests and thus have acted as a stabilizing force.
