Abstract

The author observes convergent trends of increasing violent extremism alongside reinforced democratization since the fall of Zine al- Abidine Ben Ali in 2011. The number of Tunisians joining radical groups within Tunisia or in foreign groups raises concerns. Existing scholarship suggests that violent extremism should decline while the country moves further toward a more consolidated democracy. This background note addresses these issues, their context and history, and how youth engagement can be fostered.
