Supporting Tunisia’s Imperiled Transition

Thu. April 14th, 2016
Washington, DC

Tunisia remains the Arab Awakening’s last best hope. Its political transition is as remarkable as it is fragile—imperiled by both security challenges and significant socioeconomic obstacles. Carnegie hosted a discussion of how Tunisia and its international partners can forge a new and more constructive dynamic and reverse the country’s recent troubling trajectory. This event launched ​a new Carnegie report entitled Between Peril and Promise: A New Framework for Partnership With Tunisia.
