Abstract
Is it possible to draw up an assessment of Moroccan social law since 1956? The author argues that the more fruitful question is not whether such an assessment is possible but how it can validly be established—what elements would make the inventory complete and meaningful. These elements cannot be confined to the strictly legal field; they must be sought in at least three further domains: the economic, the ideological, and that concerning the implementation and results of social policy. Methodologically, a sound assessment of social law must therefore draw simultaneously on legal science, political science, and labor economics. Moving beyond a purely accounting notion of "balance sheet," assessing Moroccan social law since independence means appraising its state, functioning, and results in light of the rights and obligations of the social partners. The article critically examines competing definitions of social law—protective regulation versus a framework also governing workers' means of struggle—as the basis for a valid evaluation.
