	Algeria - Government and Politics
		A strong authoritative tendency and the supremacy of the military, both remnants of the war for liberation, have resulted in a sharply divided society in which the political elite remains highly remote from, and generally unaccountable to, the masses of its impoverished, unemployed, and dissatisfied citizens.
		Algeria's bloody overthrow of colonial rule resulted in independence in 1962 and a legacy of an authoritarian political structure dominated by several competing interests.
		The current situation is potentially dangerous because of the explosive nature of the political tensions inherent in the repression of a discontented population.

		Political science (also political studies) is the study of the theory and practice of politics and the description and analysis of political systems and political behavior.
		The multiple notions of political power that are put forth range from conventional views that simply revolve around the actions of politicians to those who view political power as an insidious form of institutionalized social control - most notably "anarchists" and "radical capitalists".
		Bachrach and Baratz viewed power as involving both the formal political arena and behind the scenes agenda-setting by elite groups who could be either politicians and/or others (such as industrialists, campaign contributors, special interest groups and so on), often with a hidden agenda that most of the public may not be aware of.

	AISA - Electronic Monograph: Algeria: The Politics of Fundamentalism and Extremism
		When Algeria gained its independence in 1962, after 132 years of colonial subjugation and exploitation, its politics were be dominated by the FLN (National Liberation Front), since all the pre-existing parties and political tendencies were forced to dissolve within the Front that was spearheading the anti-colonial revolution.
		Algeria, like Saudi Arabia and Morocco, could well become a target of suicide attacks as religious fundamentalists with links to Al-Qaeda may seek to undermine the government of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika as a means to perpetuate an unjust course of violent retaliation against the state.
		Algeria thus represents a specific case were terror has been exported beyond the confines of Algiers and the rest of the country, and could well come to pose a transnational threat in the future, if not effectively dealt with by the Algerian authorities.
