A SHROUD OF REFORM: The Late-Rentier Paradigm Applied to Algerian Political Economy

Master thesis | International Relations (MA)
This thesis investigates the origins of the 2019 Algerian revolution, attributing it to the failure of the government to stimulate equitable economic growth and unemployment, and widespread corruption amongst the ruling elite. The research applies the late-rentier paradigm, arguing that Algeria underwent a period of supposed reforms in the early 2000s in reaction to an earlier crisis of legitimacy during the 1980s and 1990s.
