title = "Algeria Modern: From Opacity to Complexity",
abstract = "The book provides a fresh analysis of power and politics in Algeria under Bouteflika. It engages a host of intriguing questions about the often misunderstood North African great power: How does its political system function? Who really governs? Who are behind the protests? How strong are the Islamists? Are there alternatives to dependence on hydrocarbons? And how will the regime securitise its vast and unstable Sahara hinterland? The book challenges the long established perception of Algeria as a politically and intellectually incomprehensible country under the control of powerful and intransparent intelligence agencies . Without denying the ongoign presence of these features the book explores demonstrate how much the country has changed since the 1990s. Algeria today is complex, and challenging to comprehend; but it is no longer opaque.
