Gender Politics in Transition - The Development of the Tunisian Field of Gender Politics 2011 -2014 (Paperback, 1st ed. 2020)

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.
