Sample Text	This book deals with the religious and political roots of the Makhzen state in Morocco, which was consolidated in the sixteenth century at the hands of the Zaydanid sheikhs. This ruling house appeared in a special local and international context. To tighten their grip on a fragmented Moroccan space exposed to Iberian and Ottoman ambitions, these sultans were forced to adopt a cohesive legalization system, rely on effective institutions, and carry out important diplomatic activity with the aim of consolidating their rule in Morocco, giving it the necessary legitimacy, guarding against foreign risks, and pursuing an expansionist policy. To achieve this three-dimensional project, Sultan Sharif Ahmed Al-Mansur Al-Dhahabi, who is considered the founder of the true storehouse, prepared an integrated legalization system. Speech in its various forms, royal insignia, ceremonies, and court etiquette have become the most important bearers of what we call the Caliphate doctrine. Sultan Sharif also strengthened his dominance over Moroccan territory by activating and centralizing the administrative and financial institutions inherited from previous eras, modernizing the military institution, and creating a loyal political-military class. At the level of international relations, he pursued a flexible strategy that enabled him to take advantage of all the loopholes of the nascent world order to neutralize all major powers, not only to preserve the independence of the Sultanate, but also to undertake an expansionist adventure in the Sahara Desert and Western Sudan and prepare to recover Andalusia... and conquer the New World. The ideological and institutional edifice created by Ahmed Al-Mansour and his assistants gave the Sultan Sharif Foundation an Islamic dimension, historical depth, and symbolic weight that made it the pivot of the Moroccan political arena. It also established the store, in its symbolic and actual dimensions, as a political control machine that changed little until the beginning of the twentieth century. However, some of the representations and manifestations of this machine still influence the contemporary Moroccan political field in some way. Muhammad Nabil Mullin obtained a doctorate in history from the Sorbonne University and a doctorate in political sciences from the Institute of Political Studies in Paris. He works as a researcher at the French National Center for Scientific Research and a professor at the Institute of Political Studies in Paris.
