Algeria's diplomatic depth in a volatile environment : insights into vulnerabilities and responses of a key regional actor

Abstract EN

Given the highly instable, profoundly worrying situation in the Algerian bordering regions; namely Libya and Mali, not to mention the cross-border threats in the Sahel, which kept the security environment there so fragile and explosive, due to the complexity and multiplicity of threats, both traditional and non-traditional, states and non-states challenges are seriously seen as a window of opportunity, now more than ever, by Algeria, as an ever key player, both regionally and internationally, to act diplomatically on several issues pertaining to the sovereignty, cooperation, security coordination and conflict resolution, and so forth, which would spur Algerian policy makers and scholars alike to think thoroughly about a resurgence of its role and enhance its status, image and viable endeavors in the region.
