	Middle East Report 205: Authoritarianism and Civil Society in Tunisia, by Christopher Alexander
		Tunisia's tradition of reform and openness, its Western-oriented elite, and its progressive social policies suggested the kind of trajectory that would culminate sooner or later in multiple political parties, competitive elections, and respect for human rights.

		He did not have the political resources to referee and manipulate effectively an ongoing competition between powerful politicians and the social actors they rallied to their camps.
