This volume is aptly titled. The authors' personal familiarity with the changing Moroccan scene supplements their findings based upon the available English and French material and permits them to focus on the evolution of a new polity, not only as a unique case of special interest to students of North Africa but additionally to demonstrate "the problems and cause-effect relationship that mutatis mutandis, could occur elsewhere." As such, the reader is invited to ponder the problems with which Morocco as an Arab-Islamic country has been contending, as well as to view these problems more generally as those stemming from the needs and stresses of modernization. Located at the northwest corner of Africa, Morocco has been conditioned historically by three major cultural systems: the Arab-Islamic system which gave it a language, a religion and left an indelible cultural imprint which continues to affect its politics; the African system which pulled it southwards and, through commerce and other types of interaction, provided it with rich cultural and human material which in modern times still affects its political involvement and orientation; and finally the European system. Paradoxically, although Morocco is geographically closest to Europe, its physical proximity is in inverse proportion
