Dr. Said El Mansour Cherkaoui: Building the Cascade of Knowledge and Innovation
Dr. Said El Mansour Cherkaoui’s four decades of work are defined by a profound intellectual and practical mandate: to be an **active link in the cascade of knowledge**. His career is not about individual accomplishment, but about ensuring that a continuous stream of thought—sourced from the best minds and validated by direct action—**waters new cultures, new lands, and new thoughts** across the globe. He occupies a singular strategic position, building bridges between European, Latin American, North American, Middle Eastern, African, and Asian economic systems, always striving to form the alternatives that guide a better reality.
The Source: Intellectual Lineage and Foundational Models
Dr. Cherkaoui’s intellectual development is a direct extension of the Dependency School of thought, personally mentored by the eminent economist **Celso Furtado**. This mentorship, alongside guidance from figures like **Dr. Jacques Chonchol** (the youngest Minister of Agriculture under Salvador Allende), provided the high-level context for his most significant contribution.
The Creation of the “Subcapitalism” Model
The pinnacle of this intellectual transfer was the creation of the **Subcapitalism Model**. Dr. Cherkaoui dedicated 14 years to articulating this **original conceptual model** in his 1992 doctoral thesis from the **Université de la Sorbonne Nouvelle**, identifying and providing the essential **”missing link”** in Dependency Theory needed to analyze the structural dependency of developing nations.
The integrity of this knowledge stream was affirmed by **Professor William Glade** of the University of Texas at Austin, who deemed Dr. Cherkaoui’s 1985 CNRS research on Brazil **”absolutely correct”** and the **“necessary background for understanding the later internationalization of the Brazilian economy.”**.
The Actionable Cascade: Strategic Analysis and Implementation in Global Energy
Dr. Cherkaoui’s work in the global energy sector is a direct application of his foundational frameworks, providing actionable strategic guidance on resource nationalism, geopolitical conflict, and the transition to renewable energy (RE). This expertise spans solar, hydrogen, electricity grids, and oil/gas pipelines, offering alternative options to reach harmony between policy thought and economic reality.
Foresight and Policy in Morocco’s Green Energy Transition
Dr. Cherkaoui has published extensive, detailed analyses on Morocco’s national energy strategy, framing the country as a crucial hub for the new global energy architecture.
- Hydrogen and Green Energy: Comprehensive publications detail the strategy for **Green Hydrogen in Morocco**, analyzing international partnerships and the ethical debates surrounding **Moralité, Responsabilité et Energie au Maroc de Hydrogéne**.
- Infrastructure and Geopolitics: Deep research on the **Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline** analyzes the project’s strategic necessity, its geopolitical implications for Europe, and the complex challenge of passing through 11 countries.
- Electricity and National Competence: Critical analysis scrutinizes the viability of the Moroccan **52% renewable target by 2030**, addressing the “Débat Branché de Haute Tension” and the necessity of “marocaniser” the supply chain to ensure energy costs do not brake productivity growth.
Global Energy Geopolitics and Conflict Analysis
His strategic publications provide real-time analysis of global energy conflicts, resource nationalism, and the intersection of finance and war.
- Oil and Gas Geopolitics: Detailed commentary on the **EU and Russian Oil Embargo** and the weaponization of gas trade, as well as critical analysis of African resource nationalism, such as the case of **Sonatrach of Algeria Fires U.K. Sunny Hill Energy**, are used to model the relationship between war, finance, and resource security.
- Inflation and Recession: Provides structural analysis of the **World Economy Spectrum**, linking the tandem of inflation and recession to energy price shocks and geopolitical uncertainty.
- Latin American Energy Policy: Explored resource strategy in the Americas, such as the impact of **Ethanol and the US – Brazil Trade**, applying the “Subcapitalism” model to trade disputes.
Implementation: Direct Action and Policy Shaping *Sur Le Terrain*
Dr. Cherkaoui’s unique position as a multi-continental figure allowed him to use this validated knowledge as a practical, action-oriented global strategist, building new links in the cascade across Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
1. Bridging the Americas (North and Latin)
- **Extending Furtado’s Reach:** After becoming the first Moroccan to conduct research and publish on Latin American political economy at the CNRS and Sorbonne, Dr. Cherkaoui ensured the knowledge flowed locally.

Dr. Said El Mansour Cherkaoui • You
In 1977-78, I presented the result of my research on the Model of Development for Africa and defended a new road for reaching the intermediairy milestones and stations to be reach by taking the orientation and direction that was build in China.
In fact, what you are refering was included in my own recommendations since that date to the present. We have been following parallel destiny of conceptual and thoughtfull operational and organizational strategies based on reaching the goal of authentic industrial and productional sovereignty.
I let you discover the outcome of such premonitory strategy and visionnary perspective and how it was received at theSciences Po Grenoble – UGA atUniversité Grenoble Alpes, please take the time to read the content of the following link:

In today’s global environment, shaped by speed, competition, and shifting customer expectations, proximity to the U.S. market is a decisive strategic advantage. Establishing even a modest presence in the United States accelerates market understanding,.
Following this I continue to conducted my doctoral research in the same perspective during 14 years of reseach, going around the world to find supportive documents that were in basements not in the windows of libraries or book stores and this time, I took Latin American leading economic structures as labatories of qualification and fields of validation of a concept I created: Subcapitalism
