The Algerian Approach To South-south Economic Cooperation And The Challenge Of Export Diversification: An Alternative Or Complementary Strategy For North-south Cooperation

Authors : Yagoubi Mohammed .

Abstract

This study aims to show the role of south-south cooperation, as an applicable strategy, in achieving the objectives of the Algerian policy for the development of non-hydrocarbon exports. In this context, we studied in the first axis the theoretical framework of south-south cooperation, then in the second axis, we gave a historical overview of Algerian economic relations with the countries of the south, and in the third axis, our study focused on the strengths and weaknesses of the Algerian economy in the non-hydrocarbon exports field, while in the last axis, we studied the competitiveness of Algerian exports in the southern and northern markets. Finally, we found that north-south cooperation remains more important for the diversification of Algerian exports compared to south-south cooperation, but this latter can give opportunities to Algerian exporting companies to increase the market share of their products in foreign markets.
