Tunisia in crisis
Local tensions and conflicts in a post-revolutionary context
This book maps out the main social and local conflicts that are currently fracturing Tunisian society today : on the regional territory operator, which is a source of disparities and divisions ; in the confrontation between the user and the administration or the police ; and through the erosion of the social link in identity crises and generational tensions.
These conflicts reflect both the loss of credibility due to the failure of national institutions and the rise of corporatism in the face of the difficulty of including young people in a civil society that is building new points of reference. Since 2011, they also reflect the tensions affecting Tunisia's borders and the movements of populations from Libya and sub-Saharan Africa. Finally, they affect many departures from the country : from the flight of skills to illegal emigration.
Based on field surveys, the author outlines proposals for responses, alternative modes or ways out of crises, to build new regulations that are better controlled by the actors themselves. On the one hand, it is a question of restoring confidence in public institutions, and on the other hand, of finding the most appropriate solutions to the human and social issues that cross both the territories of Tunisia from within and its international borders.
