Protest Movements in Algeria Professional Integration Contracts in Algeria and Youth Protests - Model -

Abstract

Social movements have been seen as a rational response to new attitudes in the Algerian society as they aim at renewing political and social life and at providing better living conditions than what exists now. These movements are "pressure forces" that seek to achieve reform and progress and create a new reality based on a different form of values, and to overcome the contradictions suffered by the society, whether in the political, economic, social or even in the cultural field. The protest movements face a major problem, which is the fact that they refuse to turn to political parties to ensure that they have an impact on the organs of power while maintaining their basic value. The scientific experience of a number of these movements has proved their ability to have influence within society. Algeria has witnessed violently these movements in the 1990s, which although resulted in democratic and economic openness, but caused a large toll of victims and material losses. Currently, the Algerian society witnesses several protests in various sectors such as education and health. In addition, the youth who benefit from professional integration contracts also protest against the abuse practiced against them
