Abstract: The Algerian government won a third term in 2009 was boycotted by some political parties. After the ?Arab Spring? protests swept neighboring Tunisia and Libya, this introduced some political and economical reforms, including an end to state-of-emergency restrictions that had lasted almost two decades. The socialist model adopted after Algeria gained its independence from France in 1962 has hampered development. Formal-sector unemployment remains persistently high, and there is a housing shortage. Algeria is the world?s sixth-largest exporter of natural gas and has the world?s 10th-largest natural gas reserves and 16th-largest oil reserves. in 2010 The government began a five-year, $286 billion program to modernize infrastructure and appears to be trying to attract foreign and domestic private investment and to diversify the economy . The Problematique is what is the vantages and the inconvignants of theses reforms?
