Tunisia
The Rise of an Arab Civil Society
Series:
The present book shows that the Tunisian civil society in its different manifestations can not only look back to a long history, but has also navigated a series of authoritarian political regimes, providing Tunisia ever again with perspectives for democratic development. Our book shows not only why Tunisiaâs civil society survived authoritarian regimes, but also how Tunisian civil society associations informed Tunisiaâs development after the revolution in 2010/2011. Our book thus provides âfood for thoughtâ with respect to the question how we can understand the development and survival of civil society formations under adverse circumstances.
