Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considerable oil and gas revenues have provided the Algerian government with sufficient funds to embark on generous public spending programmes in nearly all sectors, leading to improvements in many of the country’s headline indicators. Although hydrocarbons are likely to remain the backbone of the economy for the foreseeable future, with significant state involvement, efforts are being made to diversify the economy and support private sector growth. Since the country gained independence more than 50 years ago, Algeria’s economy has evolved significantly, with oil and gas production reinforcing high levels of state spending. Algeria has been following something of a contrary approach to much of the rest of the world over the past few years. Even as the global economy has struggled, Algeria has continued to sail along fairly smoothly. It has not seen the vertiginous growth rates of emerging markets elsewhere in the Middle East and Africa, but it has seen a steady increase in activity and, through prudential management, has built up its financial reserves to great effect. While the state maintains a heavy presence in the market, the 38m-person country’s fundamentals are very robust, and the capital expenditures and policy reforms being taken to help address its weaknesses offer significant scope for even higher growth in the years to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-hydrocarbons GDP growth has also been robust in recent years and is expected to rise to 4.25% in 2014 on the back of higher industrial output. Most production and investment is still driven by the public sector, but efforts to extend credit to the private sector and support business creation are beginning to show positive results. Algeria’s economic fundamentals remain strong compared to both the broader Maghreb and European markets. Solid financial reserves and rising domestic demand will help it to ride out commodity price volatility in the short term.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than fifty years after Algerian independence, Albert Camus’ Algerian Chronicles appears here in English for the first time. Published in France in 1958, the same year the Algerian War brought about the collapse of the Fourth French Republic, it is one of Camus’ most political works—an exploration of his commitments to Algeria. Dismissed or disdained at publication, today Algerian Chronicles, with its prescient analysis of the dead end of terrorism, enjoys a new life in Arthur Goldhammer’s elegant translation. “Believe me when I tell you that Algeria is where I hurt at this moment,” Camus, who was the most visible symbol of France’s troubled relationship with Algeria, writes, “as others feel pain in their lungs.” Gathered here are Camus’ strongest statements on Algeria from the 1930s through the 1950s, revised and supplemented by the author for publication in book form. In her introduction, Alice Kaplan illuminates the dilemma faced by Camus: he was committed to the defense of those who suffered colonial injustices, yet was unable to support Algerian national sovereignty apart from France. An appendix of lesser-known texts that did not appear in the French edition complements the picture of a moralist who posed questions about violence and counter-violence, national identity, terrorism, and justice that continue to illuminate our contemporary world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Algeria is a country rich in history and situated in a strategically important region. While its past has at times been turbulent, the last decade has been one of relative peace. Economic growth and development has followed, driven primarily by advances in the hydrocarbons sector. The fall in the international price of oil since mid-2014, however, is having a substantial economic impact, in particular on the country’s trade balance and government finances. On the positive side though, the drop in prices is accelerating efforts to further diversify the economy, pushing the government to open up the country to greater private and foreign investment in order to provide alternatives to state spending, in part through measures to render the rigid investment environment more attractive.
