Description
The first edition of Tunisia was released just nine months before the eruption of the Arab Spring. The most substantial period of political unrest felt by the Arab world in a half century originated in Tunisia, a fact that confounded expectations about Tunisian politics. This new edition builds upon the first editions overview of Tunisias political and economic development to examine how one of the regions hardiest authoritarian orders was toppled by a loosely organised protest wave.
Providing the most up-to-date introduction to Tunisias post-independence and post-Arab Spring politics, concisely written chapters cover topics such as:
- state formation
- domestic politics
- economic development
- foreign relations
- colonialism
- the Arab Spring; its factors and repercussions
Key to this new edition is the examination of Tunisian history, politics and society alongside the subsequent upheaval following the outbreak of revolts in December 2010. It looks at how political and economic changes after 2001, including economic deterioration and rising inequality and corruption, had already begun to erode bases of Ben Alis government, and explores why Tunisia is the sole Arab Spring country to construct a democracy thus far, and the challenges that this new democracy still faces.
