This account proposes an analytical framework to understand recent developments in Algerian politics, such as the 2004 presidential election, in the context of the rise of pseudo-democratic regimes throughout the Muslim world. It suggests that through the tactical adaptation of the powers-that-be to the demands of electoral democracy, the substantive value and the legitimacy of democracy as a concept and a practical system of governance is being eroded. The key tactics employed by the regime to entrench this pseudo-democratic model include the informal pre-selection of the candidates, the stage-management of the election campaign and the televised media, and poll fixing and electoral demobilization. This domestic evolution of pseudo-democratic politics occurs in a propitious international context where the combination of economic (oil) and security (terrorism) concerns favours trends towards short-term domestic stability at the expense of long-term democratic transformation. |
