Mohammed El Maziani Haddouchi joined the Egmont Institute in January 2026 as a Trainee Programme Assistant in the European Affairs Programme.

He holds an MSc in Development Studies from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), where he focused on African development and global trade governance, and graduated from the LSE Firoz Lalji Institute’s Programme for African Leadership. He also holds an MSc in Comparative and International Politics from KU Leuven, with a focus on European foreign policy towards Africa and the MENA region, including an exchange semester at Sciences Po Lille dedicated to peace, conflict, and security studies. He previously obtained a BSc in Political Science and Sociology from KU Leuven and gained research experience as an intern at 11.11.11.

His interests lie at the intersection of peace and development, particularly on the potential of the continent-wide African regional integration agenda in fostering both sustainable development and stability, as well as on how the global political economy and multilateral trade system shape policy space and pathways for trade-led development. His dissertations examined the EU’s support to African Regional Economic Communities during the EU-ACP Cotonou Partnership Agreement; and the EU-ACP Economic Partnership Agreements envisioning reciprocal and asymmetrical liberalization.
