Tunisia: The Challenge of Building Democracy

On December 14, 2011 CTR organized a second event on Tunisia and the Arab Spring.
A first event took place on October 17 in the run-up of the elections.

Ambassador Kurt Volker, CTR Managing Director, moderated an extremely interesting and lively debate.

Panelists were invited to outline:

• “Islam and Democracy: Seeking to Coexist” (Aude Jehan),
• “An Assessment of Election Results on a Geographical Basis” (Francesco Martini),
• “The First Steps of the New Tunisian Government” (Alexis Arieff),
• “Internal Security and Human Rights” (Daniele Moro),
• “The Condition of Women After the ‘Jasmine Revolution’” (Leila Chennoufi).

An audio of the event is available here.

Results and maps (district by district, and party by party) of the first free elections are available here.
