In early 2011, a rapid and radical transformation started in Tunisia. After the desperate act of self-immolation of a young, unemployed graduate student, a massive wave of protests sparked the country. After several days of violent clashes between government forces and protesters, the broad public opposition managed to break down the government of Ben Ali. While the country may have embarked on a path towards more democracy, uncertainty about Tunisia's future remains and many problems have yet to be solved. This book presents current research in the study of Tunisia's economic, political and social issues.
