The article provides an alternative development paradigm for Algeria based on the developmental state perspective, concluding that strategic industrial policy needs to come to the centre stage, where it belongs, if sustained local production growth and diversification, competency upgrading, and overall competitiveness improvement are to be aggressively pursued.
