Ben Ali's Tunisia: Power and Contention in an Authoritarian Regime by Anne Wolf

Hardback. New. Based on a wealth of new primary data, this book offers the first account of the internal regime factors that caused the fall of Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali's long dictatorship in Tunisia during the Arab Uprisings. It challenges studies that focus mass mobilization alone and examines the role of a secret coup d'état staged by regime figures in 2011.
