The purpose of this brief article is to explore the ways in which Tunisia is integrated into the international division of labor. Inasmuch as several of the other papers in this collection treat the Egyptian case, the Tunisian example will be approached partly from an Egyptian point of view. An emphasis on the similarities and differences between these two cases in the broader Arab region will lead to generalizations of wider applicability. The chief point of the comparison with Egypt here will be with the open door policy developed by President Sadat in the 1970s concurrently with the effort to establish peaceful relations with Israel; in Tunisia this corresponds to the liberal policy created under the leadership of Prime Minister Hedi Nouira beginning in 1971. Both countries have moved from a period of relative self-sufficiency and consolidation to one of increasing integration into the international division of labor
