L'algerie Face a La Mondialisation
Algeria Facing Globalisation is a contribution by intellectuals (researchers, trade-unionists, members of associative movements) to the intellectual and material crisis which Algeria has gone through since the 1980s. The crisis, evident in the new economic downturn created by globalisation, has manifested itself through a genuine right of interference, then, at the end of the violence, through the search for new insertion into a world dominated by one super-power and by a neo-liberal economy. The contributions are strategic, assess public policies and their outcomes, and provide solutions for the crisis. Three of the contributions are of global interest and underscore, on the one hand, the crisis as turning point, with respect to Algeria's economic situation, and to trends in policies before 1988 (Mohamed Moulfi). On the other hand, the contributions underscore strategies by actors that are a disservice to reform policies and nurture corruption and the shambling of the economy (Rachid Tlem?ani). Five contributions are on sector-based policies: education (Ahmed Djebbar), banking and financial system (Fatima Zohra Oufriha), environment and sustainable development (Azzouz Kerdoun), rural development (Omar Benbekhti) and the implications of the law on Hydrocarbons (Farid Benyoucef). The authors assess the repercussions of external constraints (world market for oil and agricultural products, new information and communication technologies, and the financial market). The contributions on social movements (Ahmed Chouicha), women (Souad Bendjaballah and Fatima Zohra Sa?) and intellectuals (Tayeb Chenntouf) endeavour to assess the potentials of social transformation. Last but not least, the concluding contribution is an interim assessment of the situation (Tayeb Chenntouf). It provides potential means for solving the crisis: the setting up of a new historic block with its two essential components, namely, the development of a project for the future and mobilisation of social actors capable of implementing it. Today, once again, Algeria seems to be at the crossroads.

Open Borders and International Migration Policy
Although philosophers debate the morality of open borders, few social scientists have explored what would happen if immigration were no longer limited. This book looks at three examples of temporarily unrestricted migration in Miami, Marseille, and Dublin and finds that the effects were much less catastrophic than opponents of immigration claim.

A look into sustainable development goal amidst technological innovation, financial development and natural resources: a symmetry and asymmetry analyses
Algeria is one of the North African countries endowed with abundant natural resource mostly on oil and gas. Because of its richness in natural resource, most of its economic activities and development (including economic and environment) are dependent and determined by its natural resources. Due to Algeria's rising dependence on natural resource rents, the country's long-term development and environmental policy toward its sustainable development goals (SDGs) have been seriously questioned. For this reason, the objective of this study is to examine the Algeria’s sustainable development goals amidst its heavy dependence on natural resources. We applied Algeria’s data of 1980 to 2019 with a dual and novel scientific approaches (linear/dynamic ordinary least square—DOLS, and nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag—NARDL) for insightful analysis of this subject. A trio indicator of natural resources, technological innovation and financial development is utilized in this study for a direct overview of their impact on Algeria inclusive sustainable development goals. Findings from the two approaches showed that technological innovation, financial development and natural resources reduce carbon emission and increase economic growth, respectively. Hence, sustainable development goals are achievable for the case of Algeria if policy is framed around innovation, financial development and natural resource. With this, policy framing toward sustainable development goals should focus on increasing technological innovation through financial development which will transcend to improvement on both environment and economic situation of Algeria. Some financial policies such as subsidy from government in financing research projects, and lifting embargo on loan through reduction in interest rate and increase on financial literacy through sensitization on how to go about securing loans are to be considered when framing lasting policies targeting the Algeria’s SDGs.

Public debt dynamics and fiscal sustainability in selected North African countries: new evidence from recurrent explosive behavior tests and quantile unit root analysis
In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, government debt has surged to unprecedented levels in most countries, including those of North Africa. In this study, we investigate the issue of public debt sustainability in four North African countries (Algeria, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia). The Generalized Supremum Augmented Dickey–Fuller (GSADF) results show that Algeria, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia have experienced periods of explosive public debt during the studied period. The identified episodes of explosive debt behavior can be seen as periods of unsustainable fiscal policy. Moreover, the Quantile Auto-Regressive (QAR) unit root results point to strong debt sustainability at the lower quantiles for the selected countries, while at the middle and upper quantiles, public debt exhibits an unsustainable dynamic. This finding, therefore, points to weak sustainability of debt and fiscal policies in Algeria, Morocco, Libya, and Tunisia. This paper provides further evidence that fiscal policies have become more unsustainable than sustainable in recent years in these countries. Consequently, fiscal policymakers in MENA countries should not overlook the unsustainability of public debt and its various effects when developing any strategy aimed at stimulating the economy through ever larger debt levels.
