Algeria - John P. Entelis - Bog

After over a century of intensive colonial rule and nearly eight years of revolutionary warfare, Algeria emerged in a state of total economic decrepitude and political backwardness. Yet in the two decades following independence in 1962 the country achieved a remarkable degree of political stability and economic growth. This book, first published in 1986, traces the shape of AlgeriaΓÇÖs revolutionary experience through an analysis of the countryΓÇÖs culture, history, economy, politics, and foreign policy.
