This report provides background information on the civil strife in Algeria, updating developments since the government abandoned talks with the Islamist Salvation Front in 1995 and began a process of institution-building. The result, however, did not restore peace. Rather, violence has become more indiscriminate. The culprits are harder to identify and may include government forces as well as Islamist extremists. Policymakers face the dilemma of wishing to hold the government to a higher standard of conduct as the upholder of the rule of law, while not wanting terrorists to benefit from criticisms of the government. The European Union, European governments, and the United States are reluctant to act for differing reasons, but support an international inquiry. For congressional concern, see H.Res. 374 , April 28, 1998. For background, see CRS Report 96-392, Algeria: Four Years of Crisis.

This highly original study of a Turkish statesman can be read as an introduction into Turkish politics. In his very clearly written and stimulating political biography of İsmet İnönü, Metin Heper presents to the reader a highly motivated, self-reflecting and self-conscious political leader. İsmet İnönü played a critical role in the founding of the Turkish Republic, further promoting Westernization, and the transition to and the consolidation of democracy in Turkey. This volume is the first treatise on this remarkable statesman in any Western language. It challenges such orthodox views on İnönü as his having played second fiddle vis-a-vis Ataturk and his having been a power-hungry politician with an authoritarian bend of mind. It is suggested that İnönü complemented Ataturk, and that, over time, he adopted liberal political views while remaining a staunch guardian of the premises such as secularism upon which the Turkish Republic rested. It is also argued that if his compatriots had paid closer attention to İnönü, they would have a more liberal conception of democracy and, at the same time, in politics they would have acted more prudently.
