Algeria will shortly be holding elections in April 2019 that will be crucial for its future. The country did, it is true, introduce constitutional reforms in response to the Arab Spring in the region, but whether or not President Bouteflika will have a fifth term in office is still the chief cause of the uncertainly hanging over the country. Although elderly now and in frail health, the President is still the glue binding Algeria’s political system together after its terrible civil war in the 1990s ...

The price of oil has fallen significantly since June 2014, from a peak of US$115 per barrel (bl) then to US$26 per barrel in January 2016, although it has somewhat recovered recently. This can partly be explained by weaker demand, robust supply growth and the expanding coverage of mandatory energy effciency provisions worldwide. These changes come at a time of major turmoil in parts of the Middle East. Iraq – with the world’s fifth largest oil reserves – is engaged in the fight against ISIL/Da’esh ...

Given its strong military power ...

Algeria is the only Maghrebi country which has officially refused to be part of the ENP despite its strategic position in the region. Yet it can benefit from the ENPI’s financial assistance without having its own Action Plan. Through its partnerships with the EU, governed by the Association Agreement (AA) and its bilateral partnerships with the member states (MS), Algeria has mainly benefited from its energy market exchanges and a reinforced security role in the fight against terrorism. With a markedly ...
