What Ennahda had and the secularists lacked : looking at social strategies in pre-revolutionary Tunisia over three axes (incumbent regime, Ennahda, secularists)
Abstract
In October 2011, the moderate Islamist party Ennahda garnered 41.7percent of votes on Tunisia’s first free and fair elections, making it the first party in post-revolutionary Tunisia. Why did this happen in a country renowned for militant secularism? This article looks at the factors that led to this state of affairs over three axes within the pre-revolutionary period: the incumbent regime, Ennahda itself, and Tunisia’s secularist parties.
