Özet:

 This article analyzes the European Unions policies aimed at promoting democracy in Algeria as part of its broader strategy to ensure security, drawing on democratic peace theory within the framework of international relations theories that address the concept of security. In addition to the political instability that poses a challenge to democratization in Algeria, the transformation of the global security environment due to the Arab Spring, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Russia-Ukraine War has significantly reshaped Algerias political, economic, and security perceptions. In response to the evolving security demands of these distinct periods, the EU has revised and adapted its strategies and policies. The main argument of this study is that the simultaneous processes of the EUs redefinition of its global security concerns and the empowerment of authoritarian elites in Algeria have undermined the consistency of the EUs democracy-promotion conditionality. In seeking to ensure its security, Algeria has increased its defense investments with Russia by 400 and has pursued new alliances such as BRICS to address challenges arising from economic underdevelopment. These developments have posed a threat to EU security and consequently diminished the effectiveness of its strategies and policies.

 Bu makale, güvenlik kavramını ele alan uluslararası ilişkiler teorilerinden demokratik barış teorisine dayalı biçimde, ABnin güvenliğini sağlamak amacıyla Cezayirde demokrasiyi teşvik etmek amacıyla ortaya koyduğu politikaları analiz etmektedir. Cezayirdeki demokratikleşme konusunda sorun yaratan siyasi istikrarsızlıklara ek olarak küresel sistemde güvenlik ortamının Arap Baharı, Covid-19 salgını ve Rusya-Ukrayna Savaşıyla değişmesi, Cezayirin siyasi, ekonomik ve güvenlik algısını değiştirmiştir. AB de bu farklı dönemlerde ortaya çıkan güvenlik ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak üzere strateji ve politikalarını değiştirmiş ve geliştirmiştir. Bu çalışmada ileri sürülen temel argüman, ABnin küresel düzeyde güvenlik kaygılarının yeniden tanımlanması ve Cezayirdeki otoriter elitlerin güçlendirilmesi gibi eş zamanlı süreçlerin, ABnin demokratikleşme koşulluluğundaki eksikliklere yol açtığıdır. Cezayir, güvenliğini sağlamak için Rusya ile savunma yatırımlarını yüzde dört yüz artırmış ve ekonomik geri kalmışlığın ortaya çıkardığı sorunları çözmek için BRICS gibi yeni ittifak arayışlarına girmiştir. Tüm bunlar, ABnin güvenliği için tehdit oluşturarak strateji ve politikalarının etkinliğinin azalmasına neden olmaktadır.
