The accidental academic: Prioritising data, people, or both?
My research and fieldwork experiences in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) began accidentally, more by default than design. I graduated from college with an undergraduate degree in political ...
Tunisia under Ben Ali: A history of an authoritarian regime, 1987–2011
In the combustible world of Middle East-North African politics, Tunisia has long been considered a relatively peaceful anomaly. Smaller in physical size than its neighbouring states, endowed with m

Algerian Democracy: An Oxymoron or Usurped Opportunity
The Algerian state represents a contradictory mixture of opportunity and failure born of a lengthy colonial past, a violent revolutionary independence struggle, and a failed effort to institutionalize a legitimate system of rule since independence in 1962. As the two authors make clear, both the anti-colonial struggle and the post-independence effort at institution-building were usurped by a military-dominated elite class whose political socializ…

La face "cachée" des sociétés civiles au Maghreb: Un espoir pour demain

Culture and counterculture in Moroccan politics

Transgresser au Maghreb: La normalité et ses dépassements

Algeria Revisited: History, Culture and Identity, ed. Rabah Aissaoui and Claire Eldridge
This book is the result of a conference entitled ‘Algeria Revisited’ held at the University of Leicester on the fiftieth anniversary of Algeria’s independence in 1962. More so than many other formerly colonised countries, Algeria’s path to independence has been strewn with deep and enduring cleavages which, more than five decades after expelling the French occupiers, remain unresolved. Virtually every dimension of Algeria’s history, culture and i…

Algeria: Democracy Denied, and Revived
Algeria was the first country in the Arab world to experience an 'Arab spring' at least two decades before Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya were to undergo their democratic intifadas. Yet that democratic moment was quickly subverted by a military coup d'état followed by a decade – long bloody civil war costing the lives of 200,000 people or more. The tripartite pillars of the Algerian state – party, army, Sonatrach – have maintained the political status…

The Democratic Imperative vs. the Authoritarian Impulse: The Maghrib State Between Transition and Terrorism
Despite public promises to the contrary, Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia continue to be ruled autocratically even as their civil societies aspire to greater public space. Rather than promoting concrete steps towards democratization including institutionalizing freedom of speech, association, and pluralistic political practices, the three states of the Maghrib are pursuing survivalist strategies leading to a robust authoritarianism that seems unlike…

Ideological Change and an Emerging Counter-Culture in Tunisian Politics
Tunisia A has long been regarded as a model of political development and stability in the Third World. There is no doubt that the charismatic Habib Bourguiba, the aging (71) yet indefatigable leader of an effective nation-wide party apparatus, has helped ensure Tunisia's development from the period of the pre-independence struggle until today. It is not unnatural, therefore, given the critical role of Bourguiba in the operation of the political s…
An Economic Indicator of Socio-Political Unrest
The relationship between economic phenomena and revolution has intrigued political scientists from Aristotle 2 to Zanzibar. 3 As usual in political science, however, most studies of the matter have been limited to intuitive hypotheses, without any attempt at comparative empirical verification. As a result, a number of such hypothetical explanations have been proposed, each showing the persuasiveness of its own internal logic (as if convincing obs…

Religion and Politics in Algeria: Conflict or consensus
Modern Algerian political culture is deeply rooted in religious identity. Inasmuch as scripturalist Islam fuses the sacred with the secular, the development of an Algerian political identity that is simultaneously Islamic, nationalist, modern and socialist constitutes no contradiction in either belief or practice. Given this legacy, what explains the current condition of political pathology in which the most extreme violent actions are justified …

Reformist Ideology in the Arab World: The Cases of Tunisia and Lebanon
Ideology refers to a set of basic assumptions, both normative and empirical, about the nature and purposes of man and society which serve to explain the human condition. At the political level, it is a belief system through which man perceives, understands, and explains the universe as well as nature and the human community. Ideology also guides individual and collective action, sets forth the political goals one may seek and regulates the ways i…

Party transformation in Lebanon: Al‐Kata'ib as a case study
Al-Kata'ibI was created on November 21, 1936, by five Levanese Christians, four of them Maronite: Pierre Jumayyil, Shafiq Nasif, Charles Hilu, George Naqqash, and Emile Yarid. The founders were relatively young (they averaged slightly under thirty), French-educated, middle class professionals (a pharmacist, lawyer, two journalists, and an engineer respectively) with a strong commitment to an independent and Westernoriented Lebanon.2 The movement'…
Belief-System and Ideology Formation in the Lebanese Katâ'ib Party
One of the primary reasons for Lebanon's political viability over nearly three decades of independence in a volatile political environment has been the relative success of well-organized, intensely nationalistic Lebanese groups in mobilizing effective support for the system. The most significant such organization is the Lebanese Katâ'ib Party (LKP), which has exceeded others in its membership support, structural stability, ideological commitment,…
