Abstract

Since its independence, Algeria has exerted an important influence in the international community, advocating since the late 1970s the establishment of a New International Economic Order. In order to avoid the effects of "imperialist" domination, Algeria conducted a self-centred policy, but this was more of a declarative order than a discourse of reality. The idea of a fight against colonialist capitalism led to close ties with the Soviet Union, which posed some major problems for the implementation of its own centralized planning when setting up a transition economy in Russia. Algeria has an important economic potential, but it is still dependent on its energy resources, the production of which fluctuates according to the political crises of a Nation, strongly controlled by the army, always close to internal conflicts, even civil war.
