Summary/Abstract: This study examines the future of economic relations between Algeria and the European Union in light of global energy transitions and geopolitical shifts. Algeria remains a key energy supplier to Europe but is seeking to diversify its economy beyond hydrocarbons. The EU, meanwhile, is reducing its fossil fuel dependence and promoting green energy. These opposing dynamics necessitate a strategic reassessment of their partnership. Using MICMAC and MACTOR techniques, the study identifies critical variables and influential actors shaping this relationship. MICMAC highlights structural factors, while MACTOR maps actor influence and goal alignment. Together, they reveal areas of convergence and conflict. The analysis emphasizes the potential for cooperation in energy, innovation, and trade. It also underlines the importance of adapting strategies to regional and global uncertainties. The study offers forward-looking insights to support a resilient and mutually beneficial economic partnership.
