Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to shed light on the industry-politics nexus in resource-rich Algeria with emphasis on the connection between hydrocarbon processing industry and the economic-political goals of the Algerian state. The chapter involves a historical and political inquiry by focusing on the change in economic and technological capacity of the industry over the years, drawing attention to the relevant developments in domestic and foreign policy, as well as their reflections in Algeria's energy policy. The development of the Algerian hydrocarbon industry within a period of 70 years is investigated in terms of anti-colonialism, nationalism, and rentier relations between the state and interest groups (i.e., elites, foreign states, and international companies).
