Algerian Scientific Research System Reform under President Abdelaziz Bouteflika (1999-2019)

This research aims to shed light on the reality of the scientific research system in Algeria and the most distinguished government decisions to reform this system, the most difficult obstacles facing the reform process, and the most prominent proposed solutions to address the obstacles facing the reform of the Algerian scientific research system. The importance of research stems from the fact that the development of education and scientific research is one of the key issues that excite the interest of researchers and governments alike, as each of them has become fully aware of the role played by this sector in the development and progress of societies to ensure economic and social well-being. Algeria, like other Arab countries, is still at the beginning of the road in this area. Since its independence, the government has worked for a development path aimed at developing government sectors, including higher education and scientific and technological research as well as a set of other reform laws, the most important of which is to increase government spending for this sector while developing many research centers and increasing scientific production. But despite all the efforts made by successive governments in developing this sector, it still faces many problems that limit its development.
