التدبير الدستوري للإنتقال السياسي في الحالة الجزائرية : هل تلبي المسالك الدستورية القائمة مطالب الحراك الشعبي ؟

Abstract EN

This study examines the constitutional management of political transition in Algeria following the popular protests of February 2019 (the Hirak).

After setting out the basic tenets of Transitional Constitutionalism, the study investigates the extent to which peaceful political change can be achieved through constitutional mechanisms or arrangements derived from inherited texts.

In contrast to similar Arab cases, the Algerian experience was characterized by the adoption of a political plan to manage the transitional phase, based on constitutional measures derived from the texts in force.

But it was not convincing for a large segment of the Hirak, who believed that these arrangements would restrict the path of change to reproduce the existing system at the expense of achieving peaceful political change.

In this sense, managing the transitional political phase according to the applicable constitutional texts did not set a precedent.

Rather, in Algeria, a kind of precedent was set in the restriction of the concept of constitutional solution to the literal requirements of the functional constitutional text, without partial constitutional amendments, nor a fundamental revision of the inherited legislative structure.
