Abstract
La sociedad civil argelina tiene una larga trayectoria de movilización y contestación política y social que se remonta al final de los años 80, en un momento en el que Argelia iniciaba un proceso breve, pero intenso, de apertura política y pluralismo. La experiencia fue brutalmente abortada por el golpe llevado a cabo por los militares en 1991. Desde entonces, la sociedad civil ha evolucionado tanto en sus discursos como en sus estrategias frente a un sistema político autocrático que ha permanecido inalterado a pesar de las olas de contestación política protagonizados por los movimientos sociales en el Norte de África y Oriente Medio a partir de 2011. El presente artículo pretende analizar la evolución de los principales discursos y estrategias de la sociedad civil y los movimientos sociales en Argelia que, a pesar de los factores inhibidores propios de la historia reciente de Argelia, como a la singularidad de su sistema político, son portadores de transformaciones sociales y de cambio político.
Algerian civil society has a long history of mobilization and social and political resistance that dates to the end of the 1980s, when a brief but intense process of political openness and pluralism began. The incipient electoral process and the first signs of an autonomous sphere of social and political expression were brutally aborted by the military coup of 1991. Since then civil society has evolved in both its discourses and the strategies used against the autocratic political system, which has remained unchanged despite the waves of resistance led by social movements in North Africa and the Middle East since 2011. This article analyses the evolution of the main discourses and strategies used by Algerian civil society and social movements which, despite the inhibitory factors of the country's recent history and the uniqueness of its political system, are carriers of social transformations and political change.
