| description | Since the last third of the twentieth century and up to the present, the relations of the European Union with Algeria have evolved parallel to the international system and following a natural dynamic center-periphery. Thus, the signing, in 1976, of a Cooperation Agreement consisting of, above all, the facilitation of trade exchanges and the provision of technical and economic assistance to the Maghrebi country, progressed in the adoption, in 2002, of the Agreement of Association, which granted Algeria the status of strategic partner of the EU. In this way, in addition to the economic component, issues arising from the globalization process such as immigration, terrorism and, especially, energy security have become the determining vectors of Euro-Algerian relations. Changes in the nature of this bilateral relationship define the main thesis of this article: Algeria is no longer perceived by the EU only as a trade partner but as a strategic partner. |
