BUDGETARY REFORM IN ALGERIA UNDER THE ORGANIC LAW NO. 18-15: TOWARDS A RESULTS-ORIENTED FINANCIAL GOVERNANCE

Laabassi Mohamed — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This paper examines the dynamics of budgetary reform in Algeria following the adoption of Organic Law No. 18-15 on Finance Laws, which represents a cornerstone in the modernization of public financial management. The study aims to analyze the transition from a resource-based budgeting system to a results-oriented framework, emphasizing efficiency, transparency, and accountability. Through a conceptual and analytical approach, the paper highlights how this reform seeks to enhance fiscal discipline, performance-based management, and the alignment of budgetary practices with international standards such as the OECD framework for performance budgeting. The findings suggest that while the organic law provides a robust legal foundation for reform, its effective implementation remains constrained by administrative inertia, institutional rigidity, and limited digital integration. The study concludes with policy recommendations for deepening fiscal governance through capacity building, digitalization, and performance evaluation mechanisms.

Wassila Boutaa, Mokhtar Bengouia — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Digital financial technologies play a pivotal role in enhancing the efficiency of Islamic crowdfunding platforms. Technologies such as blockchain and smart contracts contribute to greater transparency and security, while artificial intelligence is employed to ensure compliance with Shariah principles through contract verification and the avoidance of prohibited elements such as riba. Islamic crowdfunding is founded on the principles of risk- and profit-sharing and provides innovative financing solutions such as murabaha and mudarabah, thereby supporting entrepreneurship and socially impactful projects. However, these platforms face significant challenges, including the absence of unified regulatory frameworks, security risks such as cyberattacks, and limited public awareness of Islamic financial tools. Conversely, promising opportunities emerge through the development of digital financial products such as electronic sukuk and the promotion of financial inclusion by expanding access to financial services, particularly in emerging markets. Case studies highlight the success of platforms such as Saudi Arabia’s “Ethraa” and Singapore’s “Capital Boost” in integrating technology with Shariah principles, leveraging tools like blockchain and digital payment systems.

THE IMPACT OF THE GREATER ARAB FREE TRADE AREA ON ALGERIA’S INTRA-ARAB FOREIGN TRADE

Amira Bahri, Assma Boudounet — Fri, 24 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to examine the reality of Algeria’s foreign trade in recent years within the framework of trade liberalization and the country's efforts to diversify its exports, reduce its import bill, and stimulate other productive sectors. It also seeks to assess the extent to which Algeria’s foreign trade has been affected by its accession to the Greater Arab Free Trade Area (GAFTA).

The study concluded that Algeria’s intra-Arab trade with other Arab countries remains limited and has not achieved the objectives set for joining this area, as it did not exceed 5 billion USD. Tunisia is considered Algeria’s largest Arab economic partner, followed by Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates.

Medical negligence is one of the most complex issues in Indonesia's criminal law system and healthcare services. This problem arises when medical actions do not meet professional standards, resulting in harm, serious injury, or patient death. This research aims to analyze criminal law regulations regarding doctors' liability in cases of medical negligence, identify juridical and normative constraints in proving it, and offer directions for legal reform to achieve a balance between legal protection for patients and legal certainty for medical personnel. This research uses a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The research results show that the criminal liability of doctors has been regulated in the old Criminal Code (Articles 359 and 360), the new Criminal Code (Article 474 of Law Number 1 of 2023), and Law Number 17 of 2023 on Health. However, there is no lex specialis that clearly distinguishes between professional negligence and medical malpractice, resulting in overlaps between ethical, disciplinary, and criminal violations. The main obstacles in proving the element of fault (culpa) lie in the difficulty of determining the causal relationship between medical actions and their consequences, weak medical record documentation, and lack of synchronization between professional ethical mechanisms and criminal law processes. Therefore, legal reform is needed to clarify the boundaries of criminal liability for medical personnel through the implementation of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), restorative justice, and professional liability insurance systems. Comprehensive legal reform is expected to create a fair, balanced health law system that provides legal certainty for all parties.

ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF LAW IN THE SETTLEMENT OF CORRUPTION CASES

Sukarmi, Fikran Warnangan — Mon, 03 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Corruption has always been a disease for a republic, including Indonesia. The attention of the Indonesian government to resolve criminal acts of corruption has started since Indonesia's independence. Regulations regarding criminal acts of corruption start from the Criminal Code (lex generalis) to the Law. No. 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption (lex specialis). The fight against corruption advanced even further with the creation of a special commission through legislation No. 30 of 2002 concerning the Corruption Eradication Commission. However, in reality it has not been able to solve the problem of corruption. A new approach to solving corruption needs to be proposed. Economic Analysis of Law (EAL) sees that the settlement of corruption is not merely a moral issue that stops at right and wrong, far from that, EAL looks at the beneficial impact of solving corruption (cost and benefit ratio). This paper seeks to use microeconomic analysis to criticize the law enforcement of criminal acts of corruption, especially in the settlement of criminal acts of corruption through the Tipikor Law and efforts to provide solutions to the settlement of criminal acts of corruption through the EAL approach.

REVIEW OF UNDERSTANDING TECHNOLOGY IN THE CONTEXT OF NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT: CRITICAL REFLECTIONS (2025)

Mohd Dahlan Abdul Malek — Tue, 02 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Understanding Technology in the Context of National Development: Critical Reflections by Tiwari, Kostenko, and Yekhanurov (2025) has quickly gained academic and pedagogical significance. The work offers a comprehensive examination of how digital transformation and technological innovation intersect with national development strategies, governance models, and economic growth. It situates technology as both a driver of progress and a subject of critical reflection within development economics and ICT4D (Information and Communication Technologies for Development). Drawing on key policy frameworks including OECD’s digital transformation guidelines, United Nations (UN) development agendas, and the Network Readiness Index the authors analyze themes such as technological advancements, human capital, governance, and innovation ecosystems. The review finds that the book makes a valuable contribution to debates on digital transformation and development by identifying thematic pillars, capturing stakeholder insights, elaborating on twin foundations of tech enabled growth, and proposing concrete solutions to governance and inclusion challenges. This is shown by its adoption as post graduate course material for Industrial & Organizational programs at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), Malaysia and Esa Unggul University, Indonesia, where the author is associated with and currently using the book for post graduate studies courses listed in the curriculum. The curricular integration underscores the book’s broader pedagogical relevance in Southeast Asia. In doing so, it bridges theoretical discourse with practical policy considerations, providing scholars, policymakers, and practitioners a timely resource aligned with global development frameworks.
