Fehri describes the coordination of and discussion among party members, most of whom were diasporic Tunisians who had been educated and made their lives abroad. Fehri narrates his experience as a Bardo sit-in'er, and shares a story of police brutality against young revolutionaries. In the second session, Fehri sheds light on various parts of the national dialogue. He describes the landscape of political parties in the early stages of the transition, and the Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet's role in bringing them to the negotiating table. He speaks to the tensions and the specter of an Egyptian scenario as the sit-in of parliamentarians in the Bardo Square continued. Fehri then discusses the role of foreign embassies in the national dialogue, how many European ambassadors organized informal dinners or meetings that convened thought leaders and party organizers for deliberations on next steps.

Book excerpt: Nebil Chemek discusses Tunisian politics and his own goals as special assistant to Noomane Fehri, the minister of communication technologies and digital economy in the Habib Essid cabinet. Before the 2010-2011 revolution, Chemek did not participate in national or local politics; he devoted his time to environmental associations and sports teams. Following the revolution, he joined the Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) and, later, Afek Tounes. He describes the Ministry of Communication Technologies' major goals for 2020, which include digitizing governmental communications and primary and secondary school learning resources, and increasing national Internet access. He examines the trajectory of Afek Tounes, suggesting while Afek Tounes has merged with other parties and separated again in recent years, Chemek maintains that these changes do not reflect political instability. Instead, he is optimistic about Tunisian politics. He believes that the government will continue to move towards transparency and stability, since the country has a tradition of tolerance. He ends with an analysis of challenges that Tunisia faces for the future.

Download or read book Anti System Parties written by Mattia Zulianello and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book adopts an innovative conceptualization and analytical framework to the study of anti-system parties, and represents the first monograph ever published on the topic. It features empirical research using original data and combining large-N QCA analyses with a wide range of in-depth case studies from 18 Western European countries. The book adopts a party-centric approach to the study of anti-system formations by focusing on the major turning points faced by such actors after their initial success: long-term electoral sustainability, the different modalities of integration at the systemic level and the electoral impact of transition to government. The author examines in particular the interplay between crucial elements of the internal supply-side of anti-system parties such as their organizational and ideological features, and the political opportunity structure. Anti-System Parties is a major contribution to the literature on populism, anti-establishment parties and comparative political parties.
Download or read book The Clash of Barbarisms written by Gilbert Achcar and published by Saqi Books. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The London bombings of July 7th, 2005, revived the debates that raged after 9/11. What relation did they bear to the foreign and war policies of the United Kingdom and the United States? Were they symptoms of a "cultural clash" between deep-seated 'values' or signs of a social crisis at the root of the ongoing conflict? How should we analyze the present-day emergence of fanatical forms of Islamic fundamentalism? The title of the book alludes to the famous thesis on the 'Clash of Civilizations'. Achcar develops a counterthesis, namely that the clashes we are witnessing do not oppose civilizations, but their dark sides. Each civilization produces a specific form of barbarism, which tends to take over in periods of crisis. Accordingly, the Bush administration doesn't embody the values of Western civilization nor does Islamic fanaticism of the al-Qa'ida type represent Islamic civilization. The clash between them is a 'clash of barbarisms' in which the main culprit remains the most powerful. The war of aggression and occupation in Iraq led to blatant manifestations of Western barbarism, most strikingly epitomized by the torture at Abu Ghraib, and inevitably nurtured fanatical Islamic and other counterbarbarisms."--Back cover.
Download or read book The Politics of Transindividuality written by Jason Read and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Politics of Transindividuality re-examines social relations and subjectivity through the concept of transindividuality. Transindividuality is understood as the mutual constitution of individuality and collectivity, and as such it intersects with politics and economics, philosophical speculation and political practice. While the term transindividuality is drawn from the work of Gilbert Simondon, this book views it broadly, examining such canonical figures as Spinoza, Hegel, and Marx, as well as contemporary debates involving Etienne Balibar, Bernard Stiegler, and Paolo Virno. Through these intersecting aspects and interpretations of transindividuality the book proposes to examine anew the intersection of politics and economics through their mutual constitution of affects, imagination, and subjectivity.
