DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE BANISALAMEH, MOHAMMED B.A, Yarmouk University, 1994 THE STRUGGLE FOR DEMOCRACY TN ALGERIA: A STTTDY IN A CTVTLIDEOLOGICAL WAR Advisor: Fatemeh Shafiei Thesis dated: May, 1998 This study examines the rise ofthe Islamic movement in Algeria, the failure ofthe democratization process and the bloody civil war. The writer was able to establish that both the military leaders and the Islamic fundamentalists are responsible for the turmoil and the bloodshed in Algeria. This study is significant because with the rise ofthe Islamic movement in the Arab world, Algeria became the primary test case for the compatibility ofIslam with democracy and the prospects for democracy in the Arab world. The study was done through the use ofprimary and secondary sources. The study examines Algeria's current crisis, its political, economic and social challenges. The study suggests that the feasible alternative to end the crisis exists only in Algeria and only the Algerian people have the key to their problem. The external involvement is not accepted by the Algerian people and will have a negative impact on the crisis.
