Eyes on the Maghreb

Offering rigorous analysis, commentary, and interviews on North Africa’s political and economic developments.

Eyes on the Maghreb is a comprehensive research and communications project dedicated to advancing nuanced understanding of North Africa’s evolving political economies, regional dynamics, and international engagements. Through a multidisciplinary approach encompassing expert video interviews, analytical podcasts, and rigorous country-specific reports, the project provides timely, evidence-based insights into Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, and Tunisia. By bridging the divide between academic scholarship and policy discourse, Eyes on the Maghreb seeks to inform and enrich global policy debates, fostering informed engagement with a region of growing strategic significance. In addressing complex governance challenges, socio-economic reforms, and geopolitical shifts, this initiative serves as an essential resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners invested in the Maghreb’s future trajectories.
