Les séquences du changement juridique en Algérie. Cinquante ans de droit (1962-2012)

The juridical change in Algeria fifty years after Independence is undeniably impressive, since it follows three successive sequences. In a first time (1960-1973), it seems that we devote the continuity in renewing the law of the colonial period. In the Second time, during the 1970s until the mid-1980s, opens a second phase, which takes an opposite position in announcing the apparently complete break with the colonial juridical heritage and the advent of a specific socialist law. Finally, since the late 1980s, it was followed by a third stage which still exists and operates, in many ways. A return to the first phase allows us to say that the cycle of Algerian law has its complete revolution in the sense that it returned to the starting point. Naturally, it is not a return to colonial law, but rather unachieved attempt and sometimes contradictory juridical system liberalization and integration into the global effort. It is these times that should be presented, even if the estate between the three phases is not so clear, and there was overlap or tangles because the reality is more nuanced and complex when revealing the interaction between the periods and unexpected paradoxes, since the period of renewal of the law was also one of significant change, and the period of rupture, that of continuity.
