Between Ballots And Bullets : Algeria’s Transition From Authoritarianism

Attribution
William B. Quandt
Publication Details
Book, Brookings Institution Press, 1998
Description
Despite this deep crisis there are reasons to believe that Algeria may emerge from its turmoil with a consensus on the need to respect pluralism and to accept the basic rules of democratic politics. Blending theoretical insights with an analysis of the Algerian case, this book demonstrates that democratization is likely to be a difficult process in the Middle East, but that the prospects for eventual success are not as gloomy as often asserted by those who see an incompatibility between democracy and Islam.
