Mohammed Ouhemmou, an assistant professor Ibn Zohr University in Agadir, Morocco. My
fields of interest include public policy analysis, migration and internationalization policies. My
research investigates the link between foreign policy and the politics of mobility. In my Ph.D. thesis I examined the nexus between scholarships granted to sub- Saharan students in Morocco and the country’s desire to expand its influence, soft power, and build friendly links with African states. I am currently researching operations of migrant displacement and dispersal in Northern Morocco.
