This book by Egyptian journalist Karim Yehia presents an Egyptian vision of the democratic transition experience in Tunisia, with its positives, negatives and lessons learned.
The book consists of seven chapters, during which the author moves between the stages of democratic transition in Tunisia, starting with the adoption of the 2013 constitution, through the parliamentary and presidential elections in their two stages in 2014. It also reviews a field visit to the city of Sidi Bouzid, the cradle of the Arab revolutions, and multiple dialogues with its people, to explore the most prominent social transformations, not just political ones.
From the outbreak of the revolution until now, in addition to 20 other dialogues with a wide spectrum of Tunisian society, varying in their affiliations, political, intellectual and social positions and age groups, about the revolution and the path of transition to democracy, in addition to two dialogues with Rached Ghannouchi, head of the Ennahda Movement Party, and Al-Azhar Al-Akrami, spokesman for the Nidaa Tounes Party, conducted by the author in November 2012 to understand the political transformations in Tunisia.
The book is the 34th issue of the Reform Series, by the Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies, and was introduced by Masoud Ramdani, a Tunisian human rights activist and the legal representative of the center in Tunisia.
