Algeria in Transition Reforms and Development Prospects

Edited By Ahmed Aghrout, Redha. M Bougherira Copyright 2004

    This book, by providing an up-to-date, systematic analytical account on transformations in Algeria, makes a valuable contribution to the literature on this country that has not yet received much attention in the Anglo-American academy. Its distinctive feature is that it entirely focuses on Algeria, thus departing from existing studies dealing with the entire geographical area of North Africa or the Maghreb.
