It’s the Economy, Tunisia
Tunisia is the only Arab Spring country that appears to be on a path to genuine democratic governance, having adopted a new constitution and held free and fair parliamentary and presidential elections. But unless the incoming government acts quickly to revive the country's moribund economy, the country's impressive gains could be lost.
TUNIS – On December 21, Tunisia completed a remarkable democratic transfer of power, with the election of Beji Caid Essebsi, the leader of the secular political party Nidaa Tounes (Call of Tunisia). As with the parliamentary election in October, the process of choosing a president was, for the most part, fair and free of violence.
