MACMILLAN Economic and Political Change in Tunisia - Book

Explore the complex evolution of Tunisia through this academic study by MACMILLAN. This book provides a detailed examination of the economic and political reform processes in Tunisia, placing the policies of Zine el Abidine Ben Ali into their proper historical context. Readers gain a theoretical understanding of how economic liberalization relates to political change across the Arab world. The text introduces the concept of the disarticulation of the corporatist state to explain shifting power structures. By analyzing these transitions, the book offers a perspective on why authoritarian political systems often emerge as successors during eras of economic transformation, even when efforts at democratization are present. This is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in international economics and the political landscape of North Africa.
