Remaking Urban Space and Democracy: Youth Movements and Spatial Contestations in Tunisia
The 2011 Uprising in Tunisia marked a turning point leading to a democratisation process that granted unprecedented political freedoms. Yet, socio-economic rights remained limited, and corruption persisted among political and economic elites. In this context, Tunisian youth groups began to utilise newly democratised urban spaces to contest governing practices that confined democracy to procedural mechanisms while neglecting socio-economic rights …
Revolution and democracy in Tunisia: A century of protestscapes
Mediation diplomacy by mimicry: The US-China rivalry and soft power in the context of Gaza War
Politics of Social Entrepreneurship in Egypt
The 2011 uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa sparked extensive research on civil society and grassroots mobilizations, deepening our understanding of their relationships with regional regimes. Despite these contributions, the debate on civil society in the region has largely overlooked its evolution amid the resurgence of authoritarianism. This article addresses this gap by examining Egypt’s social enterprise sector as a significant ele…

Driven out: Women's employment, the transport sector and social reproduction in Grand Tunis
Employment in the transport sector has historically proven to be maledominated, even in countries like Tunisia which have evidenced public policy narratives and legal employment frameworks promoting gender equality. This paper presented the findings from a grounded research study examining women's employment experiences in blue-collar roles in the transport sector of Greater Tunis. Drawing on extensive interviews with both female and male transpo…
The lived experiences of women workers in Africa's transport sector: Reflections from Abuja, Cape Town and Tunis
This paper draws on ethnographic research conducted 2019–2022 in three quite diverse city regions - Abuja, Cape Town and Tunis - to understand women's lived experiences of work in the road transport sector. The strength of connection between male identity and motor-mobility in Africa is ubiquitous and has rarely been questioned by transport sector actors. Women are still largely absent from the story, constrained at least partly by hegemonic norm…

No place for a woman’: Access, exclusion, insecurity and the mobility regime in grand tunis
Drawing on an innovative peer researcher method, this paper uses mobility diaries and in-transit interviews to examine the everyday travel experiences of women from socio-economically marginalised neighbourhoods in metropolitan Grand Tunis. It situates those experiences, and the practices they deploy to navigate them, within a meso-level discussion of women’s social condition in Tunisia and a macro-level political economy of the Tunis transport s…
Mobilizing within and beyond the Labor Union: A Case of Precarious Workers' Collective Actions in North Africa
Drawing on a qualitative analysis of a group of mobilized precarious workers in Tunisia's public sector, the author asks how workers' collective actions are shaped by and, at the same time, can act upon labor unions' responses to them. Findings suggest that unions can enable and simultaneously constrain precarious workers' collective actions. More important, workers learn from their interactions with the union, and this learning process can contr…
Transitional justice for whom? Contention over human rights and justice in Tunisia
Despite the promise to address socioeconomic injustices and unemployment, these issues remain in political and public debates in ‘democratizing’ Tunisia without having no radical and systematic approach to resolving them in place. The existing literature notes that Tunisia’s ‘transition to democracy’ has been largely shaped by the old neoliberal approach, leading many youths to take to the street again. This article contributes to the literature …
Securitization of the unemployed and counter-conductive resistance in Tunisia
While resistance has been increasingly studied in critical security studies, its role has been mainly understood as either a deconstructive or a reconstructive force in processes of securitization owing to the perceived externality of resistance to domination. By contributing to the governmentality approach to security with Foucault’s concept of counter-conduct, this article aims to explicate a particular mode of resistance in which the securitiz…
