Tunisia has been so far the first successful experience of a democratic transition in the region. In his talk, H.E. Mehdi Jomaa will shed some light on the key factors that led to this success and will present the challenges that Tunisia faces as it moves forward. He will also discuss his view regarding the governance and the way to lead the transient process in a turbulent and crisis environment, lessons learned from his country’s experience and their relevance to other transitions in the region and further afield.
