    North Africa Tunisia* BIZERTE CRISIS A LONG-SMOLDERING Franco-Tunisian dispute over the key air and naval base of Bizerte (AJYB, 1961 [Vol. 62], p. 346), the last bit of Tu- nisian territory still under French control, erupted into open fighting on July 28, 1961. The resulting crisis was the most important faced by the Tunisian state in its five years of independent existence. The French position was that, in principle, France agreed to turn over Bizerte, but that this could not be done so long as there was a Soviet threat to the West. Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba had over the years alternated between threats to take the base by force and assurances that he would wait for the problem to be settled by negotiation. His tactics had secured some gains for Tunisia, in- cluding French withdrawal from the city of Bizerte to the base proper. Pros- pects for a peaceful solution seemed particularly good after a meeting be- tween French President Charles de Gaulle and Bourguiba in February 1961. This notably eased the tensions then existing, including those caused by a dispute over Tunisian demolition in 1960 of a wall around the French ambassador's home (AJYB, 1961 [Vol. 62], p. 346). But in July the French military lengthened an airstrip by a few yards. Tunisia saw this as evidence that the French had no intention of leaving, and Tunisian troops and young volunteers surrounded the base. After a French helicopter was fired upon, French paratroops seized much of the city in bitter fighting. Hundreds of Tunisians, including civilians, were killed.

  • Hegemonic Power from Colonisation to Colonial Liberation
    Hegemonic power from colonisation to colonial liberation: A historical-analytical narrative of French colonial dominance over Tunisia from 1881-1956 and how it resulted in the Bizerte crisis of 1961 Leïla Inès Soukni European Studies – Politics, Societies and Cultures Bachelor´s Degree 15 credits Spring 2020 Supervisor: Inge Eriksson Leïla Inès Soukni Abstract This thesis studies how the colonial implementations of foreign rule in Tunisia by France between 1881-1956 caused and resulted in the Bizerte crisis of 1961 taking place. In 1881, Tunisia was invaded by France as a part of France’s colonial policy to expand its territory and power. The initial purpose was for France to gain the military-strategic geographical point in the middle of the Mediterranean sea; the city of Bizerte. This thesis follows the trajectory of France’s colonial dominance through a combination of descriptive research design and a historical-analytical narrative using the theoretical and epistemological concepts of hegemonic power, neo-gramscianism, post structuralism and world system theory to research the problem of how France’s colonial, hegemonic power affected their postcolonial relations and eventually consequenced in the Bizerte crisis of 1961. France’s colonial dominance gained them the position of hegemon and Tunisia the position of the subordinate. Through its colonial rule, France would implement its power over Tunisia that would result in the division of power between the states to be established. Once Tunisian independence was gained the distance of power between France and Tunisia would come to decrease as France’s direct rule had been removed. The transition to postcolonial relations would affect how France would influence its former colony and how the power over Tunisia by its former coloniser would change the hegemonic power dynamics between the state resulting in the Bizerte crisis of 1961.

This period, as will be shown, was critical in shaping the ethno-religious arrangement of peoples in Tunisia today. This occurred because a centralizing newly-independent state created a nation through identity based upon citizenship. Tunisia is a particularly good case study of homogenizing post-colonial nation-states because the government never sought to exclude any part of the population through direct action. Instead, domestic and international events that shook the nation and had an impact on the Jewish minority, such as independence, the reorganization of the Jewish community of 1958, the 1961 Bizerte Crisis and the Six Day War, made a solution such as exile palatable for the Jews.

  • Soldiers and Societies in Revolt
    Soldiers and Societies in Revolt Military Doctrine in the Arab Spring Nicholas J. Lotito Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Nicholas J. Lotito All rights reserved ABSTRACT Soldiers and Societies in Revolt: Military Doctrine in the Arab Spring Nicholas J. Lotito This dissertation explores civil-military relations in democratizing contexts, specifically how the historical relationship between the military and the broader public shapes re- sponses to political crises such as riots and revolutions. I develop a novel theory, rooted in civil-military relations literature from political science and sociology, for how an army’s historical interactions with the population and with foreign sponsors create doctrine by shaping organizational culture and practices toward the population. Doctrine, in turn, influences the military’s response to a popular uprising. The foundations of military doctrine are historical and include the military’s institutional origins, role in national inde- pendence, and relationship to the ruling party. Subsequently, doctrinal innovation occurs as a result of interacting with the domestic population and foreign military sponsors. The dissertation features qualitative case studies of Tunisia, Egypt, and Syria during the Arab Spring and a quantitative data analysis of major uprisings worldwide since 1950. Both qualitative and quantitative evidence demonstrate that the nature of military doctrine explains soldiers’ behavior during popular uprisings better than alternative arguments based on capacity, patronage, and ethnicity.

    North Africa Tunisia * AFTERMATH OF BIZERTE TLHE EFFECTS of the Bizerte crisis (AJYB, 1962 [Vol. 63], pp. 432- 36) reverberated throughout the year under review (June 30, 1961, to July 1, 1962). In January 1962 France and Tunisia resumed negotiations and Tunisia ceased vaunting its adherence to the Arab League. The solution of the Algerian problem, to which President Bourguiba responded with con- gratulations to France, further relaxed the atmosphere. In March the Tu- nisian delegate to the Arab League was officially instructed not to mix in "problems which did not concern him," i.e., he was to remain a spectator as far as the intrigues of the League were concerned. On June 20 the southern part of Bizerte was officially restored to Tunisian control, and at the same time diplomatic relations with France were resumed. In July 1961 Tunisia had been isolated in the Arab world, treated with reserve by the unaligned nations because of her too close friendship with France, and suspected by the Communist countries because of President Bourguiba's personal pro-Westernism. In July 1962, without having lost— indeed, having strengthened—her technical and cultural ties with France, Tunisia had nevertheless gained the Bizerte base, regained her place in the Arab world, reestablished her prestige among the unaligned nations, and improved relations with the Soviet Union. Relations with Other Countries Difficulties had arisen between Tunisia and her two neighbors in the Maghreb.

  • Tunisia, 1940-1970: the Spatial Politics of Reconstruction, Decolonization, and Development
    TUNISIA, 1940-1970: THE SPATIAL POLITICS OF RECONSTRUCTION, DECOLONIZATION, AND DEVELOPMENT Nancy Nabeel Aly Demerdash A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE FACULTY OF PRINCETON UNIVERSITY IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY RECOMMENDED FOR ACCEPTANCE BY THE DEPARTMENT OF ART & ARCHAEOLOGY Adviser: Esther da Costa Meyer, Ph.D. November 2015 © Copyright by Nancy Nabeel Aly Demerdash, 2015. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. i ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates the dialectical discourses of modernism and the vernacular in Tunisian architectural and urban projects, from the late French protectorate into the period of independence, 1940-1970. With a particular focus on issues of habitation and heritage, this project tracks the reorganization of social space in the reconstruction efforts of the postwar French colonial administration and the architectural and patrimonial discourses of the Tunisian nation-state that came into existence in 1956. In an era that witnessed mass-scale land expropriations, rural-urban migrations, and popular anti-colonial sentiment, this project traces the material effects of Tunisians’ displacements and urban adaptations to their rapidly changing socio-political condition. Underscoring the dialectics intrinsic to the postwar notion of development, namely, tensions between formal and informal settlements, vernacular building traditions and prefabrication methods, and patrimonial preservation and erasure, this dissertation explores the ideological negotiations of architectural progress in the longue durée of decolonization. Throughout this tumultuous period, social housing projects sprouted in parallel with the spread of gourbivilles (earthen dwellings) and bidonvilles (‘tin can’ towns) on the outskirts of Tunisia’s urban centers. Both colonial and postcolonial institutional and state-led reckonings with vernacular architecture forwarded not only modernist building agendas, but promoted primitivizing mythologies of local construction techniques, rooted in racist attitudes towards the purportedly backward indigène.

Traditional scholarship has focused on the Peace Corps as a uniquely American experience; volunteers’ engagement with host country nationals is often reduced to a list of accomplishments and obstacles. Archival documents and volunteer testimony indicates, however, that the relationship between volunteer and host in the Tunisia Program’s first ten years was both fluid and complex. Volunteers did not perform their work in a vacuum and the Peace Corps was far from a one-way experience. Tunisia was a newly post-colonial society and its citizens oftentimes had conflicting visions for their development. Volunteers had to work themselves into Tunisian life, and in doing so, found that they learned as much—if not more—than they had taught. ii Preface Over two thousand Peace Corps volunteers served in Tunisia between 1962, and the office’s closing in 1996. As individuals that brought unique histories and personalities to Tunisia, volunteers had widely varying experiences.
