The failure of the authoritarian developmentalist regimes and the emergence of radical protest movements in the Middle East and Africa: the case of Algeria

Article Abstract:

The Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) initiated a radical movement against the inability of the authoritarian Front de Liberation Nationale Party to improve the socioeconomic conditions in Algeria. The economic strategies of the authoritarian system established in 1962, benefitted only the people in power. Political changes initiated after the Oct. 1988 riots, were oriented towards preserving the authoritarian system. FIS won the 1990 elections, but later lost the people's support. The lack of democratic political culture and an organized civil society have hindered the democratic movement in Algeria.
