In each of the four focus countries, the transition authorities have been charged with implementing agreed time-bound actions leading to democratic elections for new constitutions, presidents and /or parliamentary bodies. Tunisia s new elections are expected to be held no later than June 30, 2013. Egypt lacks a full constitution and parliament, and the transition framework remains uncertain, having been reshaped multiple times by a series of constitutional declarations, laws, decrees, legal challenges and court rulings. Libya barring major disruptions appears to be on track to adopt its new constitution in 2013. In Yemen the new government led by President Hadi is overseeing a two year transition period that is to end with elections. 2014-11-19T20:29:30Z 2014-11-19T20:29:30Z 2012-12 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2012/12/17277916/middle-east-north-africa-year-transition http://hdl.handle.net/10986/20574 English en_US MENA knowledge and learning quick notes series;no. 77 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research Middle East and North Africa North Africa Middle East Egypt, Arab Republic of Libya Tunisia Yemen, Republic of |

This note is based on report entitled
Looking Ahead after a Year in Transition that was issued by
the Chief Economist s office of the Middle East and North
Africa region of the World Bank. Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and
Yemen are given special attention because each of them
experienced a revolution and a major political change in
2011 and is undergoing a process of political transition
toward democracy. In each of the four focus countries, the
transition authorities have been charged with implementing
agreed time-bound actions leading to democratic elections
for new constitutions, presidents and /or parliamentary
bodies. Tunisia s new elections are expected to be held no
later than June 30, 2013. Egypt lacks a full constitution
and parliament, and the transition framework remains
uncertain, having been reshaped multiple times by a series
of constitutional declarations, laws, decrees, legal
challenges and court rulings. Libya barring major
disruptions appears to be on track to adopt its new
constitution in 2013. In Yemen the new government led by
President Hadi is overseeing a two year transition period
that is to end with elections. |
