Abstract

Rentier states are under increasing pressure to move towards a post-rentier state model as peak oil demand is approaching. However, it remains unclear if or how a rentier state can make this transition. To answer this, I developed an analytical framework including the mechanisms from the rentier state theory that need to be present to move towards a post-rentier state. This analytical framework is hypothetical, as up to now, no rentier state has been able to transition to a post-rentier state. Using Algeria as a case study, this novel framework is used to analyse the incremental evolution Algeria has made towards a post-rentier state since the year 2000. I argue that Algeria experienced several internal as well as external opportunities and threats and was influenced by its history on how it responded. Although Algeria fulfilled several steps of the framework, it failed to fulfil necessary sustainability aspects to become a post-rentier state.

坚持到桶子空了？阿尔及利亚迈向 "后边缘国家 "的坎坷轨迹

随着石油需求峰值的临近，租借国面临着越来越大的压力，需要向后租借国模式转变。然而，租借国能否或如何实现这一转变仍不清楚。为了回答这个问题，我制定了一个分析框架，其中包括向后租界国家转变所需的租界国家理论机制。这个分析框架是假设性的，因为到目前为止，还没有一个租界国家能够过渡到后租界国家。以阿尔及利亚为案例，这一新颖的框架被用来分析阿尔及利亚自 2000 年以来向后暴君国家的逐步演变。我认为，阿尔及利亚经历了一些内部以及外部的机遇和威胁，并受其历史影响做出了回应。虽然阿尔及利亚完成了框架中的几个步骤，但它未能实现成为后超级大国所需的可持续性方面。

期刊介绍： Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles examining the relationship between energy systems and society. ERSS covers a range of topics revolving around the intersection of energy technologies, fuels, and resources on one side and social processes and influences - including communities of energy users, people affected by energy production, social institutions, customs, traditions, behaviors, and policies - on the other. Put another way, ERSS investigates the social system surrounding energy technology and hardware. ERSS is relevant for energy practitioners, researchers interested in the social aspects of energy production or use, and policymakers. Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) provides an interdisciplinary forum to discuss how social and technical issues related to energy production and consumption interact. Energy production, distribution, and consumption all have both technical and human components, and the latter involves the human causes and consequences of energy-related activities and processes as well as social structures that shape how people interact with energy systems. Energy analysis, therefore, needs to look beyond the dimensions of technology and economics to include these social and human elements.
