Thirteenth International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences

Abstract

Morocco and Tunisia changed from a traditional society to a modern consumerist one. The abundance of goods and the complexity of services are one of these economic changes. A new age of globalization began. The debate was largely analytical of a perfect situation without taking into account alternative solutions. But the adoption of a “modern economic law” was unsatisfactory to face crisis. Consumers in this part of the world are witnessing inevitable changes without being actors of their situation. It was obvious that globalization created a “modern social injustice.” The social aspects of a consumerist society were ignored by the Moroccan legislators before 2011 and the response of the Tunisian legislators since 1992 was evidently ineffective. It is of fundamental importance to present the effectiveness of the economic law with reference to consumerism in particular by using a comparative approach of developing economies after the access to a global market. This paper will discuss an ineffective legal order with reference to a social approach. The consumer law, in a healthy economy, tends to focus on social rights through a protective system which prevent abuses.
