This project has been completed. It explored the political economy model of a leaderless revolution, the breakdown of the social contract, the role of the divided business class (post-1990s, alienation of the business class by the Trabelsi-Ben Ali business clan), and the role of Political Islam and the new middle class in the Tunisian revolution.
