  • Gauging Arab Support for Democracy

    Open AccessMark Tessler, Mark A Tessler et al.ARTICLEJournal of democracy2005Cited by: 38References: 7

    The Arab world stands out as a region for its limited progress toward democracy. At the same time, eight national surveys in six Arab countries between 2000 and 2004 show that 90 percent or more of those interviewed would like to see a democratic political system in their country.

    The status of women in Arab society, and in other developing areas, is an important subject in which interest is growing.

  • Acculturation, Socio-Economic Status, and Attitude Change in Tunisia

    Open AccessMark Tessler, Mark A Tessler et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Modern African…1979References: 4

    This article uses survey data from Tunisia to examine some of the ways that individual attitudes change in a developing society. At the same time, it is addressed to some inadequacies of modernisation theory, attempting both to understand better the impact of social change on attitudes, and to delineate the nature and consequences of different kinds of modernisation experiences. Modernisation studies usually treat lifestyle variations produced by…
