Prospects For Algerian Foreign Policy After The Hirak

Academic Paper from the year 2022 in the subject Politics - Miscellaneous, grade: 19, Université 8 Mai 1945 (Faculty of Arts and Languages), course: Government and politics, language: English, abstract: Following the resignation of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika under pressure from the street, analyses of political change in Algeria have primarily focused on the domestic processes of transition and paid relatively less attention to the influence they might have on changes in the country's foreign policy. As the country moves towards a change of leadership, a new generation of politicians will emerge with the demise of the so-called "Old Guard." These developments have raised questions about whether these changes will affect the country's future positions on regional and international issues in general. The recent maneuvers of Algerian diplomacy enable strategic shifts to be observed and the scope of foreign policy change-or continuity-to be assessed. The main question, however, is how Algeria's foreign policy will fair in the country's new political era. Should there be basic and serious changes in foreign policy orientation? The present article is written with the aim of shedding light on the foreign policy of Algeria following the recent uprising and analyses the possible diplomatic directions that the change might bring in response to public demands.
