Integrating Digital twins in Morocco. Can innovation and tradition align?
The Internet & Communication Policy Center (ICPC) is pleased to highlight a new open-access article published in Rivista di Digital Politics.
Abstract
This paper aims to map the primary areas of Digital twin (Dt) applications in Morocco, analysing the interpretive frameworks, discursive structures, and key actors involved. The hypothesis suggests that the deployment of Dt is shaped not only by technological and administrative priorities but also by Morocco’s constitutional culture, with the monarchy playing a crucial role in integrating religious and traditional values. This dualism suggests that Dt are not merely tools for enhancing public administration, infrastructure, and social programs, but also reinforce the legitimacy and accountability of Morocco’s political system, blending digital innovation with traditional religious values. Drawing on Vivien Schmidt’s discursive institutionalism, the study provides a theoretical framework to understand how Morocco’s constitutional culture influences the discourse surrounding Dt, merging tradition with modern governance. A mixed methodological approach will be employed, combining a literature review and semantic and textual analysis of academic papers, policy documents, and government reports. This review will explore Dt frameworks, identify opportunities and challenges, and apply Natural language processing to classify themes, trends, and socio-political impacts within Morocco’s digital transformation narrative.
