State-building and independence in Tunisia -- Authoritarianism and stability in Tunisian politics -- Stability, reform, and development in Tunisia's economy -- Tunisia and the world -- stability, reform, and Tunisia's future

This book gives a concise yet comprehensive overview of Tunisia’s political and economic development from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. Written specifically for a non-specialist audience, the book examines the factors that make Tunisia one of the Arab world’s most stable and prosperous countries and one of its hardiest authoritarian orders. The author explores these themes in a way that sheds light on the political dynamics of the broader Arabic-speaking, Muslim world
