Algeria of the Generals
Since independence, Algeria has been ruled by Generals who have kept the country in a state of civil war and misery. But how does this power function and endure? Arrested and tortured in Algeria for setting up a free student union in the 1980s, accused of Islamism and frequently harassed ever since, Lyes Laribi has come into close contact with Military Security, Algeria’s political police force. The author traces the history of the internal quarrels between General Zeroual's clan and General Nezzar's—coups d'état, economic schemes, political crimes spanning from 1962 to 1999. Now, Lyes Laribi reveals that behind the government of the current president, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, lies a third...
The Handbook of African Intelligence Cultures
Bringing together a group of international scholars, The Handbook of African Intelligence Cultures provides the first review of intelligence cultures in every African country.

It also explores the role intelligence services and cultures play in government and civil society.

Politics and Power in the Maghreb
The overthrow of the regime of President Ben Ali in Tunisia on 14 January 2011 took the world by surprise. The popular revolt in this small Arab country and the effect it had on the wider Arab world prompted questions as to why there had been so little awareness of it up until that point. It also revealed a more general lack of knowledge about the surrounding western part of the Arab world, or the Maghreb, which had long attracted a tiny fraction of the outside interest shown in the eastern Arab world of Egypt, the Levant and the Gulf. This book examines the politics of the three states of the central Maghreb--Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco--since their achievement of independence from European colonial rule in the 1950s and 1960s. It explains the political dynamics of the region by looking at the roles played by the military, political parties and Islamist movements and addresses factors such as Berber identity and economics, as well as how the states of the region interact with each other and with the wider world. -- Provided by publisher.
L'Algérie des généraux
«... cet ouvrage poignant, c'est l'histoire du grand silence algérien.» Florence Aubenas, in Libération, à propos de Dans les geôles de Nezzar, de Lyes Laribi. Depuis son indépendance, l'Algérie est dirigée par des Généraux qui maintiennent le pays dans la guerre civile et la misère. Mais comment fonctionne et perdure ce pouvoir ?

L'auteur dresse l'historique des querelles internes entre le clan du général Zeroual et celui du gén...
Algeria
When mass protests erupted in Algeria in 2019, on a scale unseen anywhere in the region since the Arab Spring, the outside world was taken by surprise. Algeria had been largely unaffected by the turmoil that engulfed its neighbors in 2011, and it was widely assumed that the population was too traumatized and cowed by the country's bloody civil war to take to the streets demanding change. Michael J. Willis offers an explanation of this unexpected development known as the Hirak Movement, examining the political and social changes that have occurred in Algeria since the 'dark decade' of the 1990s. He examines how the bitter civil conflict was brought to an end, and how a fresh political order w...
L'Algérie face à la catastrophe suspendue
Coédition Karthala - IRMC Tunis. L’Algérie n’est pas l’exception autoritaire illisible que l’on présente parfois. En combinant les apports de l’observation sociologique et de la théorie critique, ce livre s’efforce de dépasser les fictions qui suggèrent l’existence d’un « Système » omnipotent, impersonnel et corrupteur, en décortiquant les transformations de l’ordre politique algérien au cours des trois premiers mandats d’Abdelaziz Bouteflika. Rendue à la fois possible et nécessaire par la crise qui a touché le pays à partir de la fin des années 1980, cette mise à jour s’est faite en accord avec des tendances globalisées qu’elle imite ou précède, a...
The Suspended Disaster
After Algeria’s president Abdelaziz Bouteflika announced his intention to run for a fifth term in early 2019, a popular peaceful uprising erupted calling for change. Bouteflika, who had been in office since 1999, was eventually forced to resign, but the Hirak (“movement”) continued to protest the country’s inequalities and entrenched ruling elite. The Suspended Disaster examines the dynamics of the Algerian political system, offering new insights into the last years of Bouteflika’s rule and the factors that shaped the emergence of an unexpected social movement. Thomas Serres argues that the Algerian ruling coalition developed a mode of government based on the management of a seemin...

Algeria: Struggle for Truth and Justice
Bodies lying in pools of blood in the streets of Algiers all day, buildings destroyed by bombs and fire, up to a million French and others fleeing the country... Roger Goldsmith arrived in Algeria six months before a joyful Algerian independence from France, followed by a violent Algerian military takeover and two military coups. In his personal account, Algeria: Struggle for Truth and Justice, he follows French and French Algerian sources that argue that le pouvoir, generals of the security forces, the DRS, manipulating armed Islamists, were behind the assassination of a president, the hijacking of a plane, some 200,000 deaths, torture and perhaps 18,000 enforced disappearances in the 1990s...
