This book examines the processes of transition from authoritarian
rule in Tunisia and Egypt between 2011 and 2014, arguing that
differences between the two countries can be explained by the
conduct of their respective political parties. Drawing on a new
conceptualization of political parties’ agency that considers
their unique nature as intermediate and intermediary institutions,
the book allows for the identification of those factors driving
political parties’ choices in processes of transition. Moreover,
thanks to the employment of quantitative text analysis on the
electoral manifestos of the parties involved, this work presents
new data for the study of party systems in Tunisia and Egypt.
Presenting a new toolkit for analysis, Tunisia and Egypt after the
Arab Spring ultimately reveals how differing legacies of
authoritarian repression across the two countries can help explain
why the Tunisian transition culminated with the 2014 democratic
constitution, and the Egyptian transition with the 2013 military
coup. Conceptually, the book will appeal to those working in
comparative politics and those interested in processes of
democratization and authoritarian resilience. Nonetheless, the
focus on Tunisia and Egypt makes the book suitable reading for
anyone interested in Arab politics and the MENA region generally.
