This testimony, written by one of the pioneers of the Social Sciences in Morocco, explores the evolution of Moroccan political science from the colonial knowledge that sought to develop the tools of control, to the present state of the social sciences, advanced by Moroccan scholars in the wake of independence. The testimony explores the post-independence developments, which seemed to correlate with political events, becoming closer to political analysis, in the framework of a "tendency to sanctify the present". The testimony ends with predictions about the prospects of political science in Morocco and the future research agenda, noting the 21st century developments that coincided with the institutionalization of Moroccan political life.
