El artículo analiza la competencia por la hegemonía regional en el norte de África tras las Primaveras Árabes, destacando el papel de Argelia y Marruecos como actores clave en un contexto multipolar e inestable. Desde un enfoque basado en el realismo ofensivo de John J. Mearsheimer, el estudio examina cómo los eventos posteriores a las revueltas de 2011 alteraron el balance de poder regional, abriendo espacio a rivalidades tanto locales como internacionales. Estas tensiones son exploradas a través de un análisis del conflicto entre Marruecos y Argelia, en el cual las grandes potencias como Rusia, China, Estados Unidos y Europa juegan un papel central al apoyar a estos Estados en su lucha por maximizar su influencia regional.
This study analyzes the geopolitical transformations experienced in North Africa since the Arab Springs, highlighting the rivalry for regional hegemony between Algeria and Morocco. Using the theoretical framework of offensive realism, the research examines how the regional landscape has been reconfigured in a multipolar and unstable environment, where major powers seek to project their power through their regional proxies. Methodologically, it combines a historical-comparative analysis with case studies, highlighting the arms race, flexible alliances in the multipolar era, and proxy wars. The results reveal that the Algerian-Moroccan rivalry transcends bilateral disputes, encapsulating the competition between major powers for strategic influence, energy resources, and security. It concludes that the rivalry between Algeria and Morocco reflects the competition between major powers on the international stage, which could lead to an escalation of indirect conflicts and profound regional instability in the medium and long term.
