State bureaucracy and the politics of development in Algeria : 1962-1978

Administrative control and the control of means of production play a role equivalent to that of the ownership of the means of production.The bureaucrats strengthened their position through the model of development which Algeria had adopted and which was based on heavy industry which was given priority.
