On the occasion of the EuroMeSCo Annual Conference “Changing Euro-Mediterranean Lenses”, held in Rabat on 12-13 July 2018, distinguished analysts presented indeed their research proposals related to developments in Europe and their impact on how Southern Mediterranean states perceive the EU and engage in Euro-Mediterranean cooperation mechanisms. More precisely, the papers articulated around three main tracks: how strategies and policies of external actors including the European Union impact on Southern Mediterranean countries, how the EU is perceived by the neighbouring states in the light of new European and Euro-Mediterranean dynamics, and what is the state of play of Euro-Mediterranean relations, how to revitalize Euro-Mediterranean relations and overcome spoilers.

  • Tunisia 2019 Human Rights Report
    TUNISIA 2019 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Tunisia is a constitutional republic with a multiparty, unicameral parliamentary system and a president with powers specified in the constitution. During the year the country held parliamentary and presidential elections in the first transition of power since its first democratic elections in 2014. On October 6, the country held open and competitive parliamentary elections that resulted in the Nahda Party winning a plurality of the votes, granting the party the opportunity to form a new government. President Kais Saied, an independent candidate without a political party, came to office on October 23 after winning the country’s second democratic presidential elections. On July 25, President Caid Essebsi died of natural causes and power transferred to Speaker of Parliament Mohamed Ennaceur as acting president for the three months prior to the election of President Saied on October 13. The Ministry of Interior holds legal authority and responsibility for law enforcement. The ministry oversees the National Police, which has primary responsibility for law enforcement in the major cities, and the National Guard (gendarmerie), which oversees border security and patrols smaller towns and rural areas. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. Significant human rights issues included reports of unlawful or arbitrary killings, primarily by terrorist groups; allegations of torture by government agents, which reportedly decreased during the year; arbitrary arrests and detentions of suspects under antiterrorism or emergency laws; undue restrictions on freedom of expression and the press, including criminalization of libel; corruption, although the government took steps to combat it; societal violence and threats of violence targeting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) persons; and criminalization of consensual same-sex sexual conduct that resulted in arrests and abuse by security forces.

  • Arab Dispatch - a Project by the NATO Defense College Foundation
    Arab Dispatch - a project by the NATO Defense College Foundation Issue n. 21 24th - 31st July 2019 North Africa #Tunisia – Tunisia bids farewell to President Essebsi and announces early election On the 27th of July, thousands of people have gathered in the capital Tunis to bid farewell to the country’s first democratically elected President, Beji Caid Essebsi, at a state funeral that was attended by several foreign leaders. Essebsi, who helped guide Tunisia’s democratic transition after the 2011 Jasmine Revolution, died aged 92 last Thursday. Appointed as PM after Ben Ali’s fall, he founded in 2012 the secular Nidaa Tounes party – now part of the governing coalition with the Islamist party Ennahda – and was elected head of state two years later. Caid Essebsi was widely perceived as a unifying figure in Tunisia’s fractured political landscape, but ultimately unable to bring prosperity and stability to a country beset by a persistent economic crisis and hit by sporadic terrorist attacks. Hours after his death, Parliament Speaker, Mohamed Ennaceur, became interim president in line with the current constitution. Meanwhile, the electoral commission announced a presidential election for the 15thof September, two months earlier than scheduled.

THE CHINESE IN PENINSULAR MALAYSIA: A STUDY OF RACE RELATIONS IN A PLURAL SOCIETY BY TING CHEW PEH A Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Warwick COVENTRY June, 1976 SYNOPSIS The present study is concerned with the problems of race relations in Peninsular Malaysia, with special reference to the Chinese community. My main thesis is that Chinese institutions and organizations, together with their values, economic and political activities tend to make interaction and integration difficult in the conflict-prone Malaysian plural society. However, despite the tremendous amount of dissensus and conflict, the society has managed to survive through the fact that the various component segments are bound together not only by political institutions, but also by their being involved in the same economic institutions. The study beg',s with an Introduction, which examines the main structural features of the Malayan society during the colonial period to 3erve as a background for discussion. Chapter 1 deals with the overall stratification and structure of the Chinese community. Particular attention is paid to Chinese guilds and associations which tend to perpetuate social distinctions between Chinese and Malays.

See the methodology. https://freedomhouse.org/country/tunisia/freedom-world/2020 1/17 3/17/2020 Tunisia | Freedom House Overview After ousting a longtime autocrat from power in 2011, Tunisia began a democratic transition, and citizens now enjoy unprecedented political rights and civil liberties. However, the influence of endemic corruption, economic challenges, security threats, and continued unresolved issues related to gender equality and transitional justice remain obstacles to full democratic consolidation. Key Developments in 2019 After the death in July of President Beji Caid Essebsi, Tunisia held a snap presidential election in September and October. Kais Saied, a political outsider, won the presidency in the runoff, defeating television station owner Nabil Karoui by a large margin. (Karoui spent most of the campaign in prison on money laundering and tax evasion charges.) The Ennahda party placed first in parliamentary elections held in October, but at year’s end was still working to form a governing coalition. Both the presidential and parliamentary elections were generally well administered, and stakeholders accepted the results. In June 2019, two suicide bombers affiliated with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) detonated their explosives in Tunis, killing a police officer and wounding eight other people. In response to the July attack, interim president Mohamed Ennaceur renewed a state of emergency that has been in force since 2015, and grants the government and security forces extraordinary powers.
