Auteur: Rachid TouhtouhTitre: Debating Civil Society in Morocco. Dynamics of Gender, Development and Social Capital.LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing, 2012Résumée: &#160; Associative action is the expression of individuals’ will to take charge  of their own development and this is translated to a number of  initiatives and actions that contribute to a sustainable human  development, mainly the promotion of values of citizenship and  democracy. Civic action is an arena for practicing citizenship rights  and defining its conditions by renegotiating the public-private  boundary, and the changing relations between the state and civil  society. The private-public divide cannot be studied without an analysis  of the gender system, as gender is a central structuring principle of  social relations and a primary way of signifying relationships of power.  Second, ways social actors organise themselves institutionally and in  relation to the state. And finally, how discourses on needs emerge from  within social actors and reinvent the public sphere in Morocco.LIEN
