Abstract: Berber people were the first to live in North Africa; they are mainly living in Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco. In Algeria, there are more than six million Berbers out of 20 million of inhabitants. The Berber community ran according to a consensual model? It is mostly made up of villages. Important decisions are taken with all inhabitants of a village. The system is popular in a way that the system never needed neither police nor justice, and it worked like that for decades. This is an auto-regulation based on the relationship between people. The tradition replaces in fact the law.

Keywords: Berbers; North Africa; Algeria; Berber community; collective entrepreneurship; tradition; villages; concensus; self-regulation; indigenous people. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
