Abstract

In February 2016 the Algerian Parliament adopted a broad-sweeping constitutional reform, which came into force in March of the same year. The paper addresses the long process of revision of the 1996 Constitution and discusses the most significant novelties introduced by this reform. The paper argues that while from a political standpoint Algeria was and still remains in many ways an "exception" in the MENA region, from a constitutional point of view, on the contrary, Algeria followed to a large extent the same path pursued by the vast majority of the Arab countries.
