The Rif movement in Morocco:The individualization as a stimulus of protestations

Abstract

This article is based on the hypothesis that although it has taken a form of collective action, Rif movement reflects an individualization process in which Moroccan society started getting in. Since that the community, the tribe, or even the party or union are no longer able to meet the material and symbolic needs of individuals. Therefore, the rise of the desire to achieve individual ambitions and goals also the inability to achieve them, generate frustration that is reinforced by technology and social networks effects, which makes easier to move from an individual form of protest at the virtual level to reality. This situation requires a working system review by politicians in a fast and regular manner, to avoid confidence crises which could break up the social contract in case of inability of making progress
