اتجاهات الرأي العام الجزائري نحو الثقة بمؤسسة الجيش (2011-2020)‎

Abstract EN

This report reviews Algerian public confidence in the army based on the results of the Arab opinion index from 2011- 2019/2020 and places the respondents’ opinions in their historical context, which roughly spans the second half of president Abdelaziz Bouteflika’s rule and the rise of the Hirak popular movement in february2019.

it concludes that the army still enjoys the confidence of the majority of respondents, and that levels of confidence are governed by the societal perception of a role played by the army in the transition process, in addition to the absence of repression.

comparing trust in the army with other institutions, the report reveals that respondents express a lack of confidence in political parties, elected institutions, and the government in contrast to high confidence in the judiciary.
