| Summary: | In the wake of the revolution, Tunisian
society is currently undergoing a significant
transformation. In late 2011, the country's first
representative government in more than three decades was
formed, as the Constituent Assembly was seated. Hundreds of
legitimate candidates ran in an election that was free,
fair, and enjoyed nearly 90 percent participation by
eligible voters. 'Tunisia: from revolutions to
institutions,' published one year after the exile of
Ben Ali, seeks to describe the factors driving this
transformation, examining how specific elements of society
have changed, or not changed, in the post-revolutionary
period. Information and communication technologies (ICTs),
which played a central role in the lead-up to the revolution
as well as the revolution itself, have continued to
influence rapid changes in the past year. This report charts
the application of these technologies by citizens, civil
society, entrepreneurs, and government stakeholders. It also
identifies openings to capitalize on technology's
ability to improve governance, expand economic opportunity,
and encourage social cohesion. |
