AttarThis study contributes to the debate on whether defense spending encourages or hinders economic growth. The effect of politics on economic growth in developing societies is assessed, with a focus on the Middle East. The study is the first to add conflict variables to the production function defense-growth model and test them empirically across countries and regions, and provide robust empirical evidence on the differential effects of interstate and intrastate conflicts on economic growth. The study provides compelling empirical evidence and guidelines to policy decision makers on how to allocate the resources of their states and adopt policies that promote political economic development.

The Hidden Courtyard, a Qualitative Study of the Riad as a Cultural Experience in the Medina of Marrakech
No full textThis thesis examines the existing relationship between people, heritage, and representations, focusing on the riad as a case study of the appropriation of space and construction of meanings within the old city of Marrakech. The phenomenon of the riad-maison d’hôtes is analyzed as a new cultural experience for tourists as well as a space of identity formation. The analysis of tourism representations promoting these new spaces of leisure and relaxation, reveals that traditional Moroccan spaces have been transformed following a new consumeristic logic. The riad phenomenon has been analyzed as a system where all the actors are involved in the production and reproduction of meanings attached to places and people. Thus, the riad has been analyzed as space-icon, where all the social actors involved are contributing to the construction of a new discourse on the city of Marrakech
