Abstract: Purpose - This paper aims to propose a national development framework for Algeria while considering the country’s historical, social, cultural, institutional and political factors. The main focus of this paper is to sketch out the policy framework that might be advisable to develop and diversify the production lines of Algeria – given the country’s excessive reliance on oil and natural gas exports – while helping the country move to the next level of socioeconomic progress. Design/methodology/approach - The approach is based on the developmental state analysis. Findings - A developmental state argument is proposed here as a necessary basis for the support of selected industries of high potential and achievability while leaving space for further social and political advancement. Practical implications - It can help greatly Algeria’s policymakers. Social implications - Socio-economic progress. Originality/value - This paper makes a significant contribution to the development efforts of Algeria.
