This book illustrates the results of ethnographical research
designed to shed light on the notion of civil society in a context
characterized by the transformation of power relations. Such
transformation is given by shifting resources, renewed local and
international opportunities, and a general reframing of goals and
objectives. The academic literature has usually relied on a
substantialist understanding of the notion of civil society -
referring to the latter as something that exists a priori or does
something. This volume relies, instead, on a relational approach -
where civil society becomes the name we give to a host of complex
interactions in which local associations are involved in a time of
reconfiguration of power relations. Building on this approach, this
volume analyses the relational dynamics affecting Tunisian
associations after the fall of the authoritarian regime in 2011 and
their implications for the changing political order. Findings show
two main interrelated trends: the nationwide professionalization of
local associations and the localized networking strategies of
various socio-political categories crossing the associational
sector. The book shows how their members understand the
standardization of local associations as a strategy to have
guaranteed access to the public sphere and, therefore, to influence
the changing political order.
