Practical information
A luncheon debate with Denis BAUCHARD, Special Adviser for the Middle East, Ifri.
Tunisia has been the first arab country to make its revolution. And also the first one to organize legislative elections and to start the process of implementation of democratic institutions. It thus became the laboratory of an arab democracy model, having multiples assets to succeed. At the beginning of year III or the revolution, this process is going through violences and uncertainties. How can this situation be explained? What are the chances of success of the democratic transition? Denis Bauchard, returning from a stay in Tunisia, tries to answer these questions.

This paradox lies at the heart of the seminar: why does such an unpopular policy persist?
