President Qaïs Saied’s visit to Washington this week is bound to have left him disappointed.
Qaïs Saied has consolidated his hold on Tunisia, but economic woes mean his control remains unstable.
Tunisia's planned free trade zone in Ben Guerdane has stalled while similar projects in Libya have advanced. If Tunisian authorities move quickly to revitalize the plan, they can boost the economy and give hope to the marginalized border population.
The major issue in Tunisia remains the ailing economy, and it may yet undermine President Qaïs Saied’s autocratic ambitions.
One year ago, Tunisian President Kais Saied’s self-coup put the country’s democratic transition in jeopardy. Carnegie experts examine the key aspects of Tunisia’s stalled transition through a comparative lens, both with other countries’ transitions and Tunisia’s own sectoral changes over time.
Tunisia’s president has just prepared a new constitution, whose principal aim is to enhance his own authority.
For his misfortune, Tunisia’s president finds himself on the opposite side of the powerful Tunisian General Labor Union.
It’s about managing oil prices, bread prices, and strategic partnerships.
Hollowed out by corruption and mismanagement and buffeted by adverse economic conditions, authoritarian governments in the Middle East are struggling to deliver the socioeconomic benefits that once pacified their publics.
