Drawing upon insights from leading civil society activists as well as democratic transition and reformist decentralisation, experts on democratic transition and decentralisation will examine post-Arab spring Tunisia and its ongoing progress towards democratisation and political reform.
The symposium will bring together academic, local democracy and transitional justice experts from Australia as well as representatives of major civil society organisations from both Tunisia and Indonesia including Australias pioneering Australia-Indonesia Electoral Support Program (AIESP). Delegates will share expertise and experience that will enhance Tunisias capacity for successful democratic consolidation at all levels including local governance.
