RT Article T1 Algeria in turmoil: Islam, democracy and the state JF Middle East policy VO 1 IS 2 SP 23 OP 35 A1 Entelis, John P. 1941- A2 Arone, Lisa J. LA English YR 1992 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1631045466 AB Until June 1991 the Algerian government (National Liberation Front, FLN) appeared to be comitted to the reform process it first put into place in 1988 and Algeria tended towards democracy. Despite the setbacks of the June 1990 elections, which questioned the government's legitimacy, the government resumed its course towards democracy. Since June 1991, when the military was called into action by the government, democracy in Algeria is diminishing. The military now has assumed control of the state apparatus and its antagonism towards the FIS (Islamic Salvation Front) - "the greatest contender for parliament authority and a party (to) be judged by the same standards as any other party to the extent that it adheres to established principles and institutions" - may cost Algeria its chances for democracy.
