Analysis

Tunisia: Revolution as a new form of political transition persuasion

19 August 2013

Abstract

Tunisian transition escapes conventional patterns because of the particular kind of revolution occurred: the characteristics of the leadership, the actors involved, the relatively peaceful nature and the key role of civil society. In some way, it could be seen more like a peculiar kind of democratic transition than a genuine revolution. In any case, stabilization and democracy are still far to be achieved and the procedural delay could seriously undermine the accountability of the transitional institutions.
