ABSTRACT
The question of how armed forces shape regional order in terms of stabilization in North Africa remains understudied in academic literature. This is surprising as various empirical cases show the relevance of national armies with regard to establishing and redefining regional orders in times of contention. Comparing the Egyptian and Algerian cases, the dissertation seeks to study the role of the armed forces in forming regional orders in situations of political transformation vs. situations of political stagnation.
