The Impact Of Elections On The Stability Of North African Countries

Authors : Bouabdallah Lamia .

Abstract

Although elections have been an integral part of African politics since political independence, they take place with a wide range of frequencies and under very difficult political conditions. Since the 2011 uprisings, North Africa had endured a period of significant transformation, characterized by socio-economic and security challenges that continue to affect the internal and external dynamics of each country. In Tunisia, many citizens are anxious about the current political and economic situation. In Algeria, the remarkably peaceful protests have demonstrated the significant role played by the country’s youth and how transition can begin to take place without causing major instability. Meanwhile, the political process in Morocco was dominated by the institution of the monarchy.
