Editorial Reviews

Review

"Ali Aissaoui analyzes the constraints on policymakers from the international economy and from the structure of the oil and gas industry. The book is a valuable contributions to our understanding of post-independence Algeria. Aissaoui's carful documentation and tying together of broad trends in the energy sector provide a unique perspective through which to understand Algeria's economic ups and down.-- Middle East Journal
