The global average water footprint of industrial products is 80 litres per US dollar of the purchase price. Every manufactured product requires water but some industries are more water-intensive than others. More than 4,600 litres of water are used to make one tonne of cement; 837 litres to make one kilogram of cotton; 458 litres to make one kilogram of synthetic plastic; 190 litres to make one litre of paint; and ten litres to make one sheet of paper. Industrial wastewater is one of the most serious sources of water pollution. There are many types of industrial wastewater based on different industries and contaminants, with each sector producing its own particular combination of pollutants. The production and cleaning processes in the iron and steel, textiles and leather, pulp and paper, and chemicals sectors, amongst others, pose a severe threat to water resources around the world, particularly in the Global South. More than 2.8 billion people in 48 countries will face water stress or scarcity conditions by 2025, yet at the same time global water demand for manufacturing is expected to massively increase.

  • Electoral Practice of Tunisian Women in the Context of a Democratic Transition
    Electoral Practice of Tunisian Women in the Context of a Democratic Transition Lilia Labidi, Fellow, Woodrow Wilson Center, and former Minister for Women’s Affairs, Tunisia Women gained the right to vote in the Arab and Muslim worlds at different times that varied from country to country. In some countries this took place in the 1930s, and the most recent one was in 2011 (see Appendix 1). The 1980s marked a turning point in most of these countries because of the emergence of new women elites—women who had benefitted from the improved health services that had lowered the rate of maternal mortality and access to their countries’ universities and to the labor force (see Appendix 2, 3). By the 2000s, these elites were demanding greater participation in formal politics and the application of quotas, which stipulated that women are guaranteed a certain proportion of representatives in elected bodies (see Appendix 4). Images showing women in several countries waiting in long lines to vote appeared in newspapers, on television, and, most recently, on social media. These images had a great impact on the political education of the region’s youth. The “Arab Spring” was one of the expressions of this.1 The younger generations are increasingly hostile to forms of discrimination, including when women candidates are not allowed to put their photographs on political posters whereas men are allowed to do this2 or when possible women presidential candidates are rejected in some countries and accepted in others.3 Our question here is whether all these factors are enough to produce a new political culture that includes women and whether we see changes in the behavior of the political elites, particularly in the Tunisian context.

  • Political Groups and Parties
    At a glance September 2016 Tunisia: Political groups and parties In December 2010, a Tunisian street vendor set himself on fire in apparent protest against state repression and systematic economic hardship, triggering a series of uprisings across Tunisia and the Middle East, commonly known as the 'Arab Spring'. President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, Tunisia's authoritarian leader since 1987, was forced out of power after his government reverted to violence against demonstrators. Although the nascent democracy has been praised internationally for its attempts to bring about reform, Tunisia's democratically elected parties have been facing multiple challenges, such as economic difficulties, regional divisions and an unstable security situation coupled with political rifts threatening to upset the country's political stability. General background Following the Jasmine Revolution of 2010 which overthrew Ben Ali, protesters put pressure on the transitional government to abolish the Democratic Constitutional Rally (RCD), the party that had dominated politics since independence in 1956, and called upon the country's leadership to make an array of reforms. In October 2011, the transitional government held elections – which were relatively free and fair – to the National Constituent Assembly, tasked with drafting the country's new constitution. The vote was won by the moderate Islamist Ennahda party by a wide margin, yet soon afterwards, many secular opposition members felt their views on constitutional reform were not being taken into consideration. Eventual consensus was possible partly thanks to an inclusive national dialogue brokered by the Nobel-prize winning 'Quartet' – an alliance of various civil society groups. The newly elected assembly adopted the country's landmark constitution on 27 January 2014.

  • N. 54 La Transizione Politica in Tunisia: Opportunità E Sfide
    La transizione politica in Tunisia: opportunità e sfide di Stefano M. Torelli, Research Fellow ISPI (Istituto per gli Studi di Politica Internazionale) n. 54 – gennaio 2015 La Tunisia appare, ad oggi, l’unico paese dell’area mediorientale e nordafricana a portare avanti un lineare processo di transizione politica dopo le rivolte che hanno interessato il Nord Africa e altri paesi arabi tra la fine del 2010 e l’inizio del 2011. Nonostante il percorso della Tunisia verso la democratizzazione non risulti privo di ostacoli e sfide – che interessano i livelli socio-economico e di sicurezza –, in effetti si tratta di un caso che si potrebbe definire “di successo” all’interno delle transizioni arabe in corso. Dopo tre anni dalla caduta del regime di Zine al-Abidine Ben ‘Ali, nel gennaio del 2014 l’Assemblea costituente tunisina ha approvato la nuova Costituzione. Ciò ha costituito il preludio per la formazione di un governo tecnocratico, che ha guidato il paese fino alle elezioni parlamentari e presidenziali dell’ottobre e del novembre-dicembre 2014. Queste ultime si sono svolte regolarmente, senza incidenti né accuse di brogli da ogni parte politica coinvolta nel processo di transizione. Tale risultato, al di là dell’esito elettorale, fa ben sperare circa l’evolversi della situazione politico-istituzionale tunisina, sebbene alcune criticità potrebbero ancora costituire un fattore di incertezza per il futuro. Il processo di transizione politica Il 26 ottobre 2014 si sono tenute le prime elezioni parlamentari dopo la caduta di Ben ‘Ali. Le elezioni che si erano svolte nell’ottobre del 2011, infatti, erano mirate ad eleggere l’Assemblea Costituente che, sebbene avesse anche temporaneamente poteri legislativi, aveva soprattutto il compito di redigere la nuova Carta costituzionale.
