This book unravels the secrets behind the Algerian regimeâs survival and the pillars of its longevity. How did authoritarian consolidation happen, and why is it likely to continue despite Bouteflikaâs departure and the emergence of a new actor: the popular movement, Hirak. The author sheds light on the pillars behind the durability of Algeriaâs regime. The latter has demonstrated an extraordinary capacity to perpetuate itself through an array of mechanisms. It identifies Algeriaâs authoritarianism as a distinctly competitive and adaptable kind, which has better allowed the regime to persist in the face of all manner of change. The book analyzes Algeriaâs situation and the regime persistence far from the premise of a trend towards democratization. The project also contributes to a broader area of study concerned with âcompetitive authoritarianism,â regimes that face domestic resistance, the question of what and how compels such regimes to change, the nature of their political institutions, and more.
