The Mental Health Impacts of Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence on Tunisian Women
Using quantitative and qualitative research, this article advances an empirical examination of the pervasiveness and impact of technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) in Tunisia. We identify that TFGBV can affect women of any demographic, including women without internet access, and all forms of TFGBV can potentially harm women's mental health and well-being. The article advances policy recommendations ensuring industry and social me…
Great for Constitution Writing but an Obstacle to Democratic Consolidation
The Hare Quota-Largest Remainders (HQLR) formula promoted consensus-building during Tunisia's constitution-writing process and in the new democratic regime's first years but it is now an obstacle to democratic consolidation. HQLR discourages the development of a tractable partisan choice set – one large enough to afford voters meaningfully distinct options but not so large as to be cognitively overwhelming – and fosters party fragmentation in par…
A mixed-methods assessment of civil political culture during a democratic transition. The case of Tunisian civil society organisations
Orientalism and binary discursive representations of Tunisia’s democratization
Mainstream analyses of Tunisia’s post-2011 democratic transition have been largely divided along two mutually exclusive narratives.

This is consistent with, and perpetuates, a problematic zero-sum binary in Middle East and Nor…
Do Tunisian Secular Civil Society Organisations demonstrate a process of democratic learning

Drawing on extensive fieldwork including both in-depth, private, qualitative interviews and ethnographic observation, this paper exa…
