When popular protests started in Tunisia in late 2010, few
anticipated the implications these events would have for the entire
Arab region. In the following years, this region witnessed deep
changes, increased divisions, and even failing states. Meanwhile,
Tunisia managed to assert itself as a new democracy. How did this
small country manage its democratic transition within such a short
period? And what implications has this had for its foreign policy
and its role in international politics? This book assesses
Tunisia's transition 'inside and out' from four angles: Tunisian
polity and politics which provide the framework for its foreign
policy since the 'Arab Spring'; bilateral relations before and
after the 'Arab Spring'; Tunisia's activism in international
organisations as well as their presence in Tunisia; and
transnational issues in Tunisia. Drawing on a broad range of
primary sources, including authors' own interview material
conducted with politicians and representatives of civil society and
international NGOs involved in the transition process, the book
shows that since 2011 Tunisia has not only developed fundamentally
at the domestic level, but also at the level of external relations.
New and old alliances, a broadening of relations, and new activism
of civil society and of Tunisia in international organisations
certify that Tunisia has the potential to play an increasingly
important role regionally as well as internationally. Providing an
encompassing picture of Tunisia's changed role and successful
transition from an autocracy to a democracy, the book allows
students and scholars in the field to understand the 'last country
standing' better, a country that both the scientific community and
the political scene should not underestimate for the promises it
holds.

This handbook integrates a range of conceptual and empirical
approaches to diplomacy in the context of ongoing technological and
societal change. Technological and societal disruptions
affect modern diplomacy, altering its character and reforming its
way. In light of such changes, this book offers both
historical foundations and contemporary perspectives in the field.
By doing so, it demonstrates how contemporary change impacts the
work of diplomats representing sovereign states. Global diplomatic
services will forever be affected by the digitalization of
engagement between states during and after the COVID-19
pandemic. In this rapidly changing culture, with burgeoning
geopolitical and geostrategic realignment among global powers, the
tools of diplomacy have changed. The state’s foreign
policy astuteness and responses to these changes could have
long-term impacts. All this culminates in opportunities for
improving the management of diplomatic services and efficiency of
the Ministries of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) of various states.Â
This book provides useful insights into how modern diplomacy
works, especially the integration
of informalities into formal diplomatic practices in
complex peace and security environments, within such a
framework of change.
