i guess if you have money you wont risk anything even in paris!!!

My name is Greg Way, currently serving in the military but coming to the end of my 22 year contract.  As part of my resettlement into civvy street I am part way through a security risk management university course.  Part of my course work is a country risk analysis and I have chosen Algeria and Algiers in particular.  I was wondering whether you would be willing to answer a few questions or pass on your experiences in regard to my course work seeing as you live and work in the city.  My report is centered around a client who is visiting Algiers to conduct business meetings with commercial and government agencies with the prospect of moving staff into the area at a later date. I have researched the current terrorist threat from AQIM, the organised crime and petty crime in the area but would like to hear your experiences of living in the city in regards to these threats.  Also looking into the culture, traditions & taboos that effect security of the individual & organisations in the city!
I would be very grateful in hearing back from you as this sort of itel in invaluable in producing the deliverable that is required.  Many thanks for your time.
Kindest regards,
Greg Way

Hi Greg! I'm not sure whether you are currently living in Algeria or not. Ideally, you should be there to conduct your 'fieldwork' in the field proper. If we're talking about a PhD, then the validity of your whole piece of research will be crucial.

Speaking as an 'expert' with a small 'e', I can tell you that your life would be much much easier if you spent whatever time is necessary to decide on your data gathering techniques (notice the 's')and on ensuring that your data is going to be rich, varied and sufficient to serve as a basis for writing a thesis. If your data is flawed,the whole thing will suffer from poor credibility [= validity & reliability issues].

Great data also makes the analysis and discussions of your results realistic, interesting, and who knows maybe even useful (as you will probably have to make some recommendations).

If you haven't already done so, look at past research (findings, research designs etc.) and decide what is the best feasible approach for you to take. It won't be free, and it won't be easy, but it'll be well worth it!

As long as you do not mess with the National flag and or people belief ,you are more than very welcome in this country.

it depends on whom u are and the places u go there  are safe places and dangerouse places so. if u are an american or a british u might be in a securiased aeria but for other countries it's ok to go every where
