International Dynamics of Tunisian Democratisation
Analyses the democratic transition in Tunisia by exploring its international dimension Challenges the idea that democracy promotion in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) always produces meaningless and counterproductive results Investigates the strengths, flaws and unintended consequences of internationally assisted democracy promotion in Tunisian democratization Explains how geopolitical factors are important for understanding processes of …
La diaspora tunisienne au Canada entre autoritarisme et démocratisation (1987-2023)
Cet article analyse les dynamiques de mobilisation de la diaspora tunisienne au Canada, en réponse aux événements politiques survenus en Tunisie entre les années 1987 et 2023. L’article démontre que sous le régime autoritaire de Ben Ali (1987-2011), la diaspora tunisienne au Canada était politiquement « atomisée ». Les dynamiques d’engagement des membres de la diaspora répondaient, durant cette période, à une logique de choix rationnel. La démocr…
Instrumentalize” the Assistance
This study provides two theoretical insights that contribute to the debate on the legitimacy of ingo s that promote democracy to intervene in the third countries’ political affairs. First, it argues that the level of legitimacy that political parties endow to ingo s depends on the “instrumental role” that ingo s play in bolstering the achievements of national partners’ goals and is not based on the values and norms that the ingo s promote. Second…
Solving the security–democracy dilemma
Scholarly consensus postulates a sharp contrast exists between liberal values and realist interests in US foreign policy in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, which finds its expression in the ‘security–democracy’ dilemma. This means the US rhetorical determination to abide by the values of a ‘liberal’ foreign policy is neutralised by the ‘realist’ priority of maintaining US strategic interests, which requires support for friendly au…
Political Islam in Tunisia
Anne Wolf's Political Islam in Tunisia: The History of Ennahda is a deep, fascinating scholarly investigation that makes a serious contribution to existing literature on the topic. Relying on hundreds of interviews, Wolf's study is the most complete attempt to chart the trajectory of Islamism in Tunisia.Two main findings deserve particular mention. First, the author offers empirical evidence that casts doubt on the dominant narrative of Tunisia a…
International democracy promoters and transitional elites
Building on empirical qualitative material, this article argues that the international promotion of democracy is crucial to account for Tunisia’s positive transitional outcome. Specifically, the study sheds new light on the capacity of international democracy promoters (IDPs) to enhance competitive politics and contribute to the professionalization of political parties and civil society groups during Tunisia’s post-revolutionary path. The article…
Supporting political debate while building patterns of trust
This article focuses on a specific aspect of the international context surrounding the Tunisian transition to democracy. Through the case of the German political foundations in Tunisia, this study argues that the country’s journey to democracy has not been an exclusively domestic affair, but has also been the product of the engagement of international actors and their interplay with domestic groups. Building on evidence from semi-structured inter…
Critical junctures, path dependence and Al-Nahda's contribution to the Tunisian transition to democracy
This article employs the concept of critical junctures within the Tunisian transition to explain Al-Nahda's transformation. The party's new attitude is explained as a product of the causal mechanism that links critical junctures and path dependence. Relying on qualitative analysis, this article offers an innovative approach to the development of the party. It shifts the focus from the causes behind Al-Nahda's transformation to the effects that th…
