Transitional Justice in Post-Revolutionary Tunisia (2011-2013) - How the Past Shapes the Future

Domenica Preysing offers a critical reading of"transitional justice" that focuses on political dynamics in post-revolutionaryTunisia, from the ouster of president Ben Ali in January 2011 until theadoption of transitional justice bill in December 2013. She explores the role,structure and characteristics of evolving transitional justice policy discourseto provide a better understanding of how, by who, and to what effect the policylabel "transitional justice" is progressively filled with meaning. She showsthat conflicting interpretations of both the past and the present have beenboth deeply embedded in and an expression of the dynamic context of domesticpolitical transformation, as old and new elites struggle over the politicalidentity and direction of post-Ben Ali Tunisia.
