Seminar: Tunisia’s Transition to Democracy

Since the popular uprising in December 2010 Tunisia has undergone dramatic political changes. After the first ever free and fair elections in October 2011, a coalition government headed by the Ennahda party was formed and is currently responsible for addressing some of Tunisia’s many political and economic challenges and potentials.

The seminar will explore the nature and current status of the potentials and challenges that Tunisia faces in its transition to democracy – as well as the ways and means by which foreign actors such as Denmark and the European Union can address and support the transition process.

The seminar takes place Friday 25 May 2012 at 10.30-12.00, at University of Copenhagen (KUA). Early arrival is obligatory due to the participation of Rafik Ben Abdessalem, Tunisian Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Christian Friis Bach, Danish Minister for Development.
