Safwan M. Masri explores the factors that have shaped Tunisia's exceptional experience, arguing that its history of reformism set it on a separate trajectory from the rest of the region. Based on interviews with experts, leaders, activists, and citizens, Masri's account is critical for understanding not only Tunisia but also the broader Arab world.
