Tunisia's Economic and Political Challenges in 2016

11
October 2016
Francis Ghilès

This podcast is performed by Francis Ghilès. Tunisia is facing a year of great uncertainty as fighting rages in the ruling Nida Tunes Party and the En-Nahda Islamist Party finds itself in the curious position, as a junior member of the government led by habib Essid of hoping Nida Tunes holds together. Economic growth is very weak and the country's debt level is rising. The tourist sector has been badly damaged by the terrorist attacks earlier this year and phosphate production remains at a third of its pre-revolution level.

    In September 2024, scientists at the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service  reported that summer 2024 was the hottest on record globally, and the previous twelve months posted a average global temperature that was a record 1.64 degrees Celsius (2.95 degrees Fahrenheit) above the average during the pre-industrial period, 1850-1900. This was triggered by a combination of a warmer El Niño cycle and the effects of human-caused warming. While it will take more years of such ...

    This essay examines the implications of the new Trump administration’s ‘America First’ approach for multilateralism, particularly in the context of the Bretton Woods institutions and the World Trade Organization (WTO), and its consequences for the New South. The first Trump administration’s selective multilateralism, marked by the prioritization of U.S. interests over global cooperation, contributed to a more fragmented global order. This was seen in the administration’s withdrawal ...

    The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is characterised by its diversity in political systems, economic conditions, and social structures. It is home to a mix of high-income countries such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, as well as low-income and conflict-affected states like Yemen and Iraq. This diversity creates a complex environment for think tanks. Political instability in some areas, coupled with economic uncertainty, presents a challenging landsca ...

    Liberalism and Pan-Atlanticism (II): Liberalism, Regionalism and the Atlantic Basin

    October 11, 2024
    The evolving structure of international power—from the erosion of unipolarity to the emergence of multipolarity (though still susceptible to a scenario where multipolarity evolves into a new form of bipolarity)—is giving rise to various material and ideological factors that are steering global dynamics toward a new ‘regionalization of globalization’.
