The Governance of Territorial Networks of Organizations: Case of the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima Region

Abstract

This work focuses on the governance of territorial networks of organizations in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region in Morocco. By examining this specific case, we seek to understand how regional governance structures influence collaboration and coordination between organizations operating in this territory. To understand this subject in depth, it is crucial to look at the governance of territorial networks of organizations, drawing inspiration from both international experiences and the specificities of the Moroccan context. Our research is based on a descriptive literature review beginning by defining the foundations of the governance of territorial networks, including the conceptualization of the term, their typological diversity, and their different forms, then by examining international experiences in governance, through the study of cases such as that of France, Italy, the Basque Countries, and the German model, and finally, by tracing the history of the development of territorial networks of organizations in Morocco, while highlighting the needs, trends, and potential of each of the entities making up the clusters.
