The Algerian Countryside Between The Beylik System And The Reforms Of Ahmed Bey 1826-1837

Authors : Benzerda Toufik .

Abstract

The Algerian countryside underwent many changes according to the position of the system and its political outlook, so that the countryside was influenced in the long term, as during the Ottoman period when rulers were interested indoors rather than the sea, after the decline of maritime resources, due to the fact that the countryside became the important space in general politics. Of course, this research paper deals with the phenomenon of the Beylik system as a local geographical unit, with a power distribution structure and economic autonomy, where this Beylik adapted to the global countryside for three century, but experienced crises in the last era, so that Ahmed Bey announced reforms to revive the Ottoman approach to governing this rich region.
