Abstract

Le processus d'accession de l'Algérie à l'OMC, qui a débuté en 1987 dans le cadre du GATT, est de loin le plus long parmi les négociations en cours. Malgré ce délai, un certain nombre de problèmes importants doivent encore être réglés pour aboutir à un accord. Le passage du GATT à l'OMC a sans doute rendu la négociation plus complexe dans la mesure où les exigences de l'OMC en matière d'ouverture portent sur un nombre plus important d'activités productives que celles du GATT, et notamment sur les services. Mais plus fondamentalement, la structure particulière de son économie et de son commerce extérieur ne prédisposait pas l'Algérie à solliciter prématurément son adhésion au GATT. Cette démarche volontariste, motivée à l'origine par une profonde volonté de réforme et de changement structurel, a subi ensuite les vicissitudes et la trajectoire heurtée des réformes économiques et de la transition. Cependant, si la longueur du processus peut s'expliquer par la difficulté pour les autorités algériennes à trouver un consensus sur la nécessité de cette adhésion, un autre aspect de la question est celui de l'intérêt pour l'Algérie d'entrer à l'OMC. Il appelle une étude des impacts attendus, tant au plan économique qu'institutionnel. Ce papier traite le premier aspect par une lecture en termes d'économie politique du processus d'adhésion. Il examine également les enjeux de l'accession de l'Algérie à l'OMC dans certains secteurs clé.
