Local Communities in Tunisian Law and Algerian Law: A Reading in Light of the Tunisian Constitution of 25 July 2022 and the Constitutional Amendment in Algeria of 30 December 2020

Abstract

Local communities embody the legislator's conviction of the necessity of devoting a democratic administrative method that is closer to the citizen and more efficient and effective in achieving the public interest and keeping pace with economic and social development than the traditional method of state administration.

The Algerian legislator and the Tunisian legislator tried to embody this approach at the level of the constitutional text by adopting the option of decentralization in the administration of the state, which he supported with various legal mechanisms to ensure his success in the tasks assigned to him.This desire to adopt a democratic choice in the administration of the state, especially in light of the fragility of the constitutional consecration of centralization, needs support and the provision of additional guarantees that guarantee the success of local groups in their tasks, especially at the level of providing the necessary financial and human resources and providing an auxiliary oversight framework.
