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 edition's
overview of Tunisia's political and economic development to examine
how one of the region's hardiest authoritarian orders was toppled
by a loosely organised protest wave. Providing the most up-to-date
introduction to Tunisia's 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 Ali's 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. An essential
inclusion on courses on Middle Eastern politics, African politics,
and political science in general, this accessible introduction to
Tunisia will also be of interest to anyone wishing to learn more
about this significant region.
