Summary:The recent political history of Algeria reveals a double reality: on one hand, the same elite has remained in power since independence in 1962, containing several crises and a bloody conflict, on another one, islamists constitute very influent political actors despite their huge diversity (political parties/associations, "radicals/moderates", etc). These two parties practice a political exchange in which every one use the resources of his challenger in order to reinforce his own influence. The regime needs to reduce the lack of legitimacy and contain the opposition, by using the traditional Islamic networks and integrating the islamist surrenders. As for the islamists, they choose the participation strategy from the bottom to the top in order to change the regime from the inside. The result is an asymmetrical balance of power.
