Eva Schmidt analyses how power relations, ideas, and institutions
in Tunisian gender politics changed during the democratisation
process 2011-2014. Her analysis of gender politics offers a
productive lens to understand the course of the Tunisian
transition. As gender policies are integral to Tunisian national
identity, they became a major battlefield in the fight for
political inclusion and exclusion. In this context, liberal and
leftist feminists accessed the decision-making institutions and
enhanced the existing women's rights legislation. Yet the
intertwinement of modernist nationalism with women's rights also
limited the scope for feminist demands. This book contributes a
unique case study to political transitology and advances an
original theoretical approach based on Bourdieu's theory of the
political field.
