The overthrow of President Ben Ali's Tunisian regime on January 14, 2011, took the world by surprise. This massive popular revolt shook the foundations of a small Arab country few knew anything about, and its effect on the wider Arab world prompted an inquiry into why there had been so little awareness of Tunisian unrest until now. It also revealed a general ignorance about western parts of the Arab world surrounding Tunisa, particularly the Maghreb region, which usually attracts only a tiny fraction of the foreign interest directed toward Egypt, the Levant, and the Gulf. This book examines the politics of central Maghreb's three states -- Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco -- since gaining independence from European colonial rule in the 1950s and 1960s. Michael Willis maps the political dynamics of the region via the roles of multiple actors, including the military, various political parties, and Islamist movements. He also examines cultural issues, such as the evolution and importance of Berber identity, and carefully weighs social and economic factors.
Finally, he explores the relationship and tenor of interaction among the three states of the Maghreb, and he delves into the motivations driving the behavior of these states toward outside powers.
