Kannou, Tunisia’s sole female presidential candidate and would-be fairytale ending to democratic transition
The symbolism of being the first and only female in the running for president is at once a defining strength and weakness of Kannou’s candidacy. Aside from this factor and given her dynamism in an election that is largely based on personality, Kannou’s lack of specific, pragmatic socio-economic project proposals limits her potential outstanding status amongst her political rivals in this election in spite of what international media might have liked to idealize.
Circumventing Political Exclusion – RCD After the Revolution and in the Coming Elections
What Euchi demonstrates in The Disappointment of the Revolution is the falling short of an effective transitional justice process, a degredation of standards since 2011 that has witnessed the successive criminalization of former regime officials to their pardoning, to the concession of their right to engage in politics. Those who were initially seen as “enemies” of the state have gradually come to be recognized as political equals, now rivals now allies as per the momentary needs of political parties vying for electoral ground.
If Pre-Election Consensus in Tunisia Means Converging on the Rules of the Game
The adoption of a charter signifying convergence on the ‘rules of the game,’ is precisely the sort of written agreement recommended by the International Crisis Group for continued, limited consensus that distinguishes healthy political party competition from enmity spurred by the prioritization of personal/partisan gain and power.
Political Islam/Political Prudence: Ennahda in the First and Second Elections of Transition
Taking an inventory of reports over the past two weeks that convey the clamor and chaos of Tunisia’s party politics gearing up for elections in October, one can appreciate a newfound irony in the attribution of—and the granting of an award for—’consensus’ to the Ennahda (or, for that matter, any other political) party.
Des anciens « caniches » aux nouveaux « réactionnaires » !
« Qu’est-ce qu’un démocrate, je vous en prie, c’est là un mot banal, sans acception précise, un mot en caoutchouc. […]
One Hundred Days of Lentitude – Jomâa on His Work in Office
Citizens, politicians, analysts, and union members expecting concrete decisions and well-elaborated intitiatives in Jomâa’s press conference last Wednesday felt either marked disappointment or resignation to the Prime Minister’s consistently long-winded and half-hearted commitments to real reform.
من الدّكتاتوريّة المحليّة إلى الحكم المُعولم
يسعى هذا المقال إلى تحسّس وجوه التّباين بين ثلاث توجّهات للخطاب والعمل السّياسيّين بدءًا بالنّظر في اختلاف أشكال تجاوب القوى الأجنبيّة الغربيّة مع ثورات الرّبيع العربي وصولا إلى إنفاذ المخطّط الذي أسميته مخطّط الحكم المعولم.
محاصصة دوبلاكس.
الصّراع على السلطة في تونس هو بطل الملحمة السّياسية التي جرت في الخطاب أكثر ممّا جرت في الواقع. منذ أن اعتلت التّرويكا سدّة الحكم دخلت لعبة الشّطرنج مرحلة محاصرة الملك. ضُيّق الخناق على الثّورة عندما اكتشف النّهضويّون ذلك التّكتيك المتنافر مع روح الثّورة: صهر النّظام البائد وتذويبه في النّهضة.
La théorie des jeux appliquée au paysage politique tunisien
Existe-t-il une réelle communication qui permet de rendre lisible la feuille de route de la majorité, lisibilité qui requiert en même temps la coopération de l’opposition ? Autrement dit est ce que le consensualisme est la seule clef pour ouvrir la boite du sauvetage tant vanté par l’opposition ? Quelle est la nature de la crise que connait le pays ? Et quelle est la place de l’opposition dans cette situation de crise ?
