The makhzen (Arabic: مخزن) refers in Algeria to a doctrine of power and to the designation of a mode of state administration in force particularly during the period of the Regency of Algiers. It corresponds to a form of management of the link between tribe and central State in the Maghreb prefigured in its central part since the Fatimid era and developing particularly under the Zyyanides.
