Habitus and economic institutions of the rentier regime in Algeria: Interactions and discrepancies

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Algeria’s rentier economy persists not due to institutional failure alone, but because a historically entrenched habitus actively sustains and legitimizes the status quo. Formal institutions fail not due to a lack of laws, but because informal norms and personal ties still rule the game. Without tackling beliefs and everyday practices, institutional reforms remain a façade — symbolic but ineffective.
