إشكالية الديمقراطية في الدول الريعية: حالة الجزائر

Abstract EN

This essay aims to study the problematic of democracy in rentier state, the case of Algeria, where we find that the political power in rentier-economy countries, employs oil revenue in order to remain in power for a long period of time, in exchange for directing and obstructing the democratic path by adopting a set of negative practices that disrupt the democratic side, wherein lies the importance of addressing this issue, though identifying how the employment of rentier economy in Algeria has reflected the democratic path.

in light of the aforementioned, we conclude that the variable of rentier oil impedes democracy in Algeria and contributes to the emergence of authoritarian regime during the presidency of resigned president AbdelAziz Bouteflik.
