The implications of organized crime on the Algerian national security and the strategy to confront it

Abstract

This article is concerned with studying the most prominent asymmetric threats to Algerian national security, represented in organized crime, although it is an ancient phenomenon, but in recent times and the structural changes that the world witnessed and the disappearance of most of the borders of countries, this crime has grown to transnational borders, and as a result It has become certain that no country, regardless of its power or degree of progress, can face this type of crime on its own. Algeria, as one of the most important members of the international community that has been greatly affected by the activities of local and cross-border criminal organizations, has become the first effort of decision-makers to protect National Security, and this risk prompted the thinking of creating a comprehensive national strategy to address its repercussions.
