Bölgesel Değer Zincirlerinin Entegrasyonu: Afrika Kıtasal Serbest Ticaret Bölgesi için Hedefleme ve Konumlandırma Stratejileri – Cezayir Perspektifi

Öz

Cezayir’in bölgesel değer zincirlerine entegrasyonu, küresel ekonomideki hızlı değişim karşısında büyümeyi desteklemek ve rekabet gücünü artırmak için önemli bir fırsat sunmaktadır. Bu makale, AfCFTA (Afrika Kıtasal Serbest Ticaret Bölgesi) çerçevesinde Cezayir’in sosyo-ekonomik beklentilerini incelemekte; fırsatlar, riskler, temel başarı faktörleri ve karşılaştırmalı üstünlükler üzerinde durmaktadır. Ayrıca diğer Afrika ülkeleriyle karşılaştırmalı bir analiz yapılmakta ve entegrasyonun zorlukları ile sürdürülebilirliği tartışılmaktadır. Çalışma, Cezayir’in bölgesel değer zincirlerine daha etkili bir şekilde katılabilmesi için uygulanabilecek hedefleme ve konumlandırma stratejilerini de ortaya koymaktadır. Bölgesel entegrasyon ilerleme kaydetse de, değer zincirlerine katılım çoğunlukla düşük katma değerli aşamalarla sınırlı kalmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, küresel değer zincirleri gelişmekte olan ekonomilerin dünya ticaretine bağlanması ve KOBİ’lerin ihracat kapasitelerini artırması için önemli bir araçtır.

Integration of Regional Value Chains: Targeting and Positioning Strategies for African Continental Free Trade Area - An Algerian Perspective

Abstract

Algeria’s integration into regional value chains offers an important opportunity to boost growth and competitiveness in a changing global economy. This article examines Algeria’s prospects within the AfCFTA (African Continental Free Trade Area), focusing on opportunities, risks, key success factors, and comparative advantages. A regional comparison with other African countries is provided, along with a discussion on the challenges and sustainability of such integration. The study also highlights strategies that can help Algeria position itself more effectively in regional value chains to support sustainable and inclusive development. While progress in regional integration is visible, successful cases of participation in value chains remain limited, often restricted to low value-added stages. Yet, global value chains can play a key role in connecting developing economies to world markets and in helping SMEs expand their export capacity.
