Algeria, Informal Empire Manqué

This chapter shows that the expedition of Algiers in 1830 was in part inspired by a project of small coastal settlement, combined with a vague aspiration to informal domination over the Algerian hinterland. This project was rooted in Enlightened and liberal thought about empire and continued to inform French policy after the Revolution of 1830, as shown by the official motto of occupation restreinte (limited occupation) and efforts to turn 'Abd al Qadir's new Arab emirate into a client state. The failure of this policy may have been inevitable, but it was precipitated by contingent factors, including a territorial tussle between the French and 'Abd al Qadir in the eastern Constantine province and the great European war scare of 1840, which highlighted the precariousness of French settlements on the North African coast. Only then did the French government embark on a deliberate policy of territorial conquest. However, the mediocre economic returns of territorial rule led the Second Napoleonic Empire to try to adopt a less formal style of domination by transforming the French colony into an “Arab Kingdom.” Ultimately, Algeria did not only become a very formal type of colony by design; it can also be construed as a case of informal empire manqué.
