The Arab spring in tunisia: a liberal democratic transition?

Öz:

Arap Uyanışı, son zamanlarda akademik çalışmalara pek çok açıdan konu olmaktadır. Bölgede yaşananlardikkati, uyanışın yapısına çekmektedir. Arap Baharının ilk halkasını oluşturan Tunus, kısa ancak kanlı bir geçişesahne olmuştur. Yasemin Devrimi adı verilen bu geçiş, yerleşik iktidarın muhalefete geçişi ile sona ermiştir. Buolaylar, ekonomik sebeplerle patlak verse de, demokrasi ve insan hakları taleplerini beraberinde getirmiştir. Buçalışmada, öncelikle demokratik mirasın varlığına ilişkin bilgi edinmek için, Tunusun siyasi arka planıincelenecek; ardından seçimler, ifade özgürlüğü, örgütlenme özgürlüğü ve diğer insan hakları ile ilgilidemokratik kurumlar değerlendirilecektir. Son olarak, tüm gelişmelerin ardından Tunusta demokratikkonsolidasyonun mümkün olup olmadığı tartışılacaktır.

Tunus ta Arap baharı: liberal demokratik bir geçiş

Öz:

The Arab Uprising has risen to the academic arena recently in several aspects. What is happening in that territorycalls attention to the structure of the uprising. Tunisia, the first cycle in the Arab Spring, witnesses a short butbloody transition. This transition, which is called the Jasmine Revolution, comes to an end with the surrender ofpower by the incumbent regime to the opposition without any compromise. These events begin with aneconomic reasoning but then continue with liberal-democratic demands. In this study, we will first coverTunisia's political background in search of its democratic heritage. We will then consider such democraticinstitutions before and during the transitions as elections, freedom of expression, freedom of association andother issues regarding human rights. Finally we will discuss the possibility of democratic consolidation inTunisia.
