Economic And Political Risks Of Algeria

According to OPEC Algeria has the 17th largest oil reserves in the world and the second largest in Africa, while it has the 9th largest reserves of natural gas. Sonatrach, the national oil company, is the largest company in Africa. Algeria has one of the largest militaries in Africa and the largest defence budget on the continent; most of Algeria's weapons are imported from Russia, with whom they are a close ally. Algeria is a member of the African Union, the Arab League, OPEC, the United Nations and is the founding member of the Maghreb

They include political instability and economic constraints. There was no peace in Algeria. At any time death could occur. Many people face such challenges every day, and it is always very hard for them to face them since it is not clear to them what might happen next. Islamist wanted power, and they wanted to get it by force. They were forcing people to convert to their faith or die. That means people lived without freedom. As a result, many people decide to leave. They, however, also faced discrimination in the new country. Citizens in the countries they migrate to view them as competitors and invaders who are after their scarce resources. The only immunity is the immigration

Banks and financial industry make money from taking risks, Insurance industry make money by “insuring against risk. (Property, 2013). The Federal government regulate the financial and banking industry very heavily. Over the years, these regulations became more and more lax (Property, 2013). Some regulations were weakened or eliminated and supervision of these industries were reduced (Property,2013). “Federal authorities” decided to let these industries “self-regulate”, which “meant letting everybody do anything they wanted” (Property, 2013). Insurance Industry did not feel the same effects. Regulation of

In recent years, it has become fashionable in the minds of some to belittle France. A rather boorish joke follows along the lines of arguing that the French have big heads only in order to accommodate their big mouths. This colloquial anecdote can be used to demonstrate that outsiders often view the behavior and policy of French government with contempt at their perceived arrogance. An example can be found in the case of Algeria’s decolonization. The failures and arrogance of the French allowed insurgents to emerge the victors of the Algerian War of 1954-1962. To understand why this occurred, it is imperative to examine how French military arrogance, political arrogance, and a failure to use military and political capabilities in

make a compelling case for the expression of the Algerian government’s role in the persistence of the conflict.

The French colonists or Europeans who settled in Algeria since the nineteenth century and their descendants, the true "pied-noirs", were not guilty of the drama that is lived and still living in that country of the Maghreb. The emigration to Algeria was carried out for political or economic reasons. It opened a new region to Europe and the promise of a better life. The Rulers French gave to the French and Europeans who settled in Algeria large facilities, both legal and economic as protective. They believed legitimate access the right of possession of land or property. Algerians are hardworking people who tried to transform the economy of the region; it is clear that for its own benefit and not that of indigenous populations. Never understood that the humble peasant, craftsman or merchant, ancient inhabitant of the country, could feel stripped and humiliated by the expropriation of their land and property and the contempt

Sub-Saharan Africa is facing a time where the future can be filled with boundless economic growth or engrossed with greater terrorism and instability. Now is the time for the United States to step up as a global leader to ensure global security while creating constancy in Sub-Saharan Africa by limiting the power and control of terrorism groups.

Well algeria is a place to visit. But not that bad of a place to live in. Algeria is a place of people that have a poor environment. So on second thought do not live there. Go visit it because it would be a nice place to visit. Algeria is going to be the place that is over full of people. It is next to the ocean and it would be nice to see the ocean out of a

His civil concord and national reconciliation initiatives to re-establish peace and security at home, and his projects to revive the economy of his troubled nation, and to re-integrate Algeria, one of the potentially richest and important countries in the Arab world, in international trade and diplomacy persuaded many foreign countries to mend relations with Algiers. Although Algeria’s relations with global powers continued to face difficulties, Bouteflika used his country’s significant economic potential to give Algeria a considerable importance in the eyes of all global actors.Wherever he went, he provided an overview of the investment

For France, there has been some huge changes caused by the Algerian war. First of all, the most obvious reason is that they lost Algeria. This was bad for France, mainly because of the Sahara that was full of oil, which was and is the most valuable resource to any developed modern country. Second of all, the Algerian Revolution marked an end to the 4th republic of France, and the start of the 5th republic. The 4th republic did help straighten France economically and financially, but its ministarial instability did not survive the Algerian war. This is why the president Charles de Gaulle created a new constitution. Third of all, after the war, not only did the French people and soldiers come back to France, but so did thousands of Algerians,

Although it is the twenty fourth largest country in the world, it is only slightly less than twice the size of Texas (1,240,192 sq km). In that small area, it has several useful natural resources such as “gold, phosphates, kaolin, salt, limestone, uranium, gypsum, granite, and hydropower” that the government can use to enhance their economic standing and benefit their people. (Central Intelligence Agency). Its terrain is best described as “mostly flat to rolling northern plains covered by sand” with “savanna in south,’ and “rugged hills in the northeast”. Unfortunately, Mali faces several natural threats such as “hot, dust-laden Harmattan haze, recurring droughts, and occasional Niger River flooding” (Central Intelligence Agency). Another natural disadvantage Mali has, is that it is landlocked. This means that Mali does not have easy access to water via coastline or maritime claims.

In 1830, France established a naval blockade off the coast of Algiers in an attempt to take control of the ports previously controlled by the Ottoman Empire. This was the beginning of a massive French colonization project in the North African region commonly referred to as the Maghreb (Szekely 11/3/16). Countries in the Maghreb have experienced varying degrees of colonial influence. While Algeria experienced a large influx of colonists from France and experienced direct rule by the French, Tunisia was considered a French Protectorate. The impact of colonial rule has significantly shaped the post-independence politics of these countries and continue to play a role in the current political systems present in the Maghreb. Algerian national identity is heavily influenced by its history as a colonial stronghold of France and the Algerian nationalism that arose from its fight for independence is so pervasive that it has taken hold of modern Algerian politics. Modern ethnic divisions, along with the complexities of national identity, rely heavily upon the varying methods of colonial rule experienced by these states. Tunisia’s independence movement was far less violent and therefore made it better suited for the unified political reform seen during the Arab Spring uprisings, while the “divide and conquer” method of colonial rule used by the French in Algeria still remains a major source for the lack of a unified national identity.

Within the complex political and economic networks present in Bamako, the capital of Mali, Sissako explores the modes and systems of communication present between the local population and a wider Western authority. The discourse of communication undertaken in Bamako (2006) is conveyed as unbalanced and restricted. Communication comes to embody and represent the contrasts between Western economics and power and those present in Mali. The local population are aware of and hear the court proceedings but are fundamentally unable to act upon this by way of influence and change. Throughout this essay I will focus on Sissako's use of silence as a narrative agent and explore the limited and one way stream of communication portrayed. The documentary style of filmmaking helps the audience to actively engage with the film and this relationship encourages the audience to question their understandings of communication in specific spatial and temporal situations. Whilst Sissako recognises and demonstrates this singular line of communication the potential for dual communication can also be inferred. I shall use Maigaurd's…to thread my ideas together.

Second largest country in Africa, tenth largest country in the world, diverse culture extending from the Mediterranean coast to the dunes of the Sahara Desert...Algeria. Even with its massive size the current status of Algeria’s economy is quivering in the lofty winds of the Tell Atlas Mountains. The economy tends to remain dominated by the state, which is accordingly a legacy of the country’s socialist post-independence development model. Hydrocarbons are the backbone for Algeria, accounting for 60% of budget revenues, 30% GDP, and 95% of export earnings. Reviewing the last five years we see the government halting privatization of state-owned industries, and increasing the restrictions of imports and foreign involvement. Algeria’s

Algeria was not always been independent and has been a part of several border and authority changes. Since its independency, Algeria has struggled to define its cultural identity. Several strategies have been employed to gain ground on its identity, such as promoting a policy of Arabization, loosening up the economy, and opening their political sphere. “Today the Algerian government seeks not only to sustain the recent ebb in violence and insecurity but also to promote greater unity within the country” (Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center, 2011).
