English Abstract

Morocco signed an association agreement with the European Union that will lead to the creation of a free trade area in industrial products by 2012.

It has also signed on March 2nd, 2004, an agreement with the United States that aims at creating a free trade agreement between the two parties.

The research question of this study is: what are the possible repercussions of the mentioned agreements on the Moroccan economy after their implementation.

Liberalism as a theory and a comparative approach as a method have been used for this study.

Two case studies have been selected for this study.

The first one is the Chilean Agreement with the United States.

The Second one is the Turkish Agreement with the European Union.

These two cases were chosen for different reasons, from which, Morocco, Turkey and Chile share common key sectors shared such as the agricultural sector and fishing.

Also, as with Morocco, the European Union is the most important Turkish trade partner.

Free trade agreements with both the European Union and the United States have several potential benefits for Morocco, but none of the positive outcomes are assured.

The economic benefits of these two agreements would depend on the policy measures that Morocco would adopt and the additional aid it would receive
