The Pluralism Forum is a series of moderated discussions with leading international authorities on the policies and practices that support pluralism.
Across the Middle East and North Africa, initial gains from the 2011 Arab Spring have been eroded by instability, violence and a return to repressive practices of former regimes. In some cases, the situation is now more volatile than it was before the Arab Spring.
In this context, Tunisia appears to be the sole Arab spring country to have emerged as a potential success story so far. While still quite fragile, does Tunisia’s experience indicate a way forward for other states in the region and beyond?
This event is presented in partnership with the University of Toronto’s Bill Graham Centre for Contemporary International History.
