Description
Eva Schmidt analyses how power relations, ideas, and institutions in Tunisian gender politics changed during the democratisation process 2011–2014.
Her analysis of gender politics offers a productive lens to understand the course of the Tunisian transition.
As gender policies are integral to Tunisian national identity, they became a major battlefield in the fight for political inclusion and exclusion.
In this context, liberal and leftist feminists accessed the decision-making institutions and enhanced the existing women’s rights legislation.
Yet the intertwinement of modernist nationalism with women’s rights also limited the scope for feminist demands.
This book contributes a unique case study to political transitology and advances an original theoretical approach based on Bourdieu’s theory of the political field.
