تأثير العولمة على أنظمة الحكم

Abstract

In the midst of the accelerating international developments, rose Globalization as a defining concept for the modern age, a concept that started to impact the economic, political, social, and cultural domains. Such an impact has caused most countries, especially those that have adopted a socialist system, to convert into that of free economy. Dictatorships have also retreated, leaving place for democracy (theoretically at the least). And prevailed the “acculturation” ideology as the world grew more open. Social aspects however, have been influenced by the disturbed economic status resulting in the regression of the social protection system, following the downgrade of the “welfare state” concept, which led to an increase in poverty, violence, and unemployment rates. In Algeria, the government has dealt with globalization in a manner of positive coping, which included a merger to the globalization mode while avoiding isolationism, by applying multiple democratic mechanisms to the political area while enforcing the free economy system to the economic area, that being based on international updates and orientations of international economic enterprises. Globalization has produced a contradicted reality, that falsely seems ensuring for the human kind, but carries with it- in reality – misery, poverty, injustice, and instability, all of which coincides with the USA rising as a dominating force, bending its application of democracy as it would suit it, a practice that has people talking about the creation of a third category of government, a “third road”, placed between democracy and dictatorship, combining democratic and non democratic mechanisms to face globalization challenges, a category appearing in the Algerian constitutions since 1989.
