An old alliance enters a new century.
Across the Atlantic: Morocco and America in the Twenty-First Century is the sixth and concluding volume of Abdeslem El Idrissi’s landmark series, Morocco and America: Stories from the Oldest Enduring Friendship in U.S. Foreign Relations, tracing a relationship that began in 1777 and was formalized through the Moroccan-American treaty of 1786–1787.
Beginning with the accession of King Mohammed VI in 1999, this volume examines how Moroccan-American relations were transformed by the defining events of the twenty-first century: September 11, the 2003 Casablanca bombings, expanding counterterrorism cooperation, Morocco’s designation as a Major Non-NATO Ally, African Lion, the U.S.-Morocco Free Trade Agreement, the political reforms of 2011, and the creation of the U.S.-Morocco Strategic Dialogue.
The narrative also explores the growing importance of the Sahara, the historic American policy shift of December 2020, Morocco’s renewed relations with Israel, and the kingdom’s expanding role in Africa.
In its final chapters, the book turns toward King Mohammed VI’s Atlantic vision—Morocco’s return to the African Union, its growing economic and diplomatic presence across the continent, the Atlantic African initiatives, and the effort to connect the landlocked Sahel to Atlantic trade and infrastructure.
But this is also a history of people: Moroccan Americans, students, scholars, scientists, Peace Corps volunteers, military personnel, entrepreneurs, and families who have transformed an old diplomatic relationship into a living transatlantic connection.
Written with scholarly rigor and documentary precision, Across the Atlantic asks a question larger than diplomacy itself: How does a relationship born in the age of sail remain meaningful in the age of globalization, strategic competition, and an increasingly interconnected Atlantic world?
As Morocco and the United States approach 250 years of relations, 1777–2027, this concluding volume reveals not a history of uninterrupted agreement, but something more enduring—the capacity of two nations to repeatedly adapt an inherited relationship to a changing world.
