Abstract
The pioneer country of the 2010/11 Arab uprisings, Tunisia, continues to be in the spotlight for its political developments. Even the initial enthusiasm for President Kaïs Saïed's constitutional coup, which capitalized on widespread disenchantment with a decade-long democratic transition that failed to deliver tangible economic benefits, seems to have diminished, if not completely vanished. The country's future appears uncertain against renewed skepticism, frustration, and anger. A timely contribution, Mohammad Dawood Sofi's latest book sets itself as a valuable compass to make sense of these developments and the political and social actors who were its main protagonists, first and foremost the self-described "Muslim-democratic" party, the Ennahdha Movement (from the Arabic al-Nahda, "the renaissance")I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
