This report analyses Tunisia's economic and social prospects through 2043, comparing a baseline 'Current Path' with various sectoral and combined intervention scenarios. While the current path shows modest growth and slow formalisation of the economy, a combined approach across eight key sectors—including governance, manufacturing, and trade—could significantly boost GDP, reduce extreme poverty to 0.7%, and improve income equality. However, the report warns that Tunisia will face a persistent energy deficit regardless of the scenario, necessitating a more diversified energy mix beyond solar and wind.

This research paper provides an introductory overview of Tunisia's political and economic trajectory, from its independence in 1956 through the 2010 revolution and subsequent democratic regression starting in 2021.

This report section outlines three alternative development scenarios for Tunisia leading up to 2040—Going for Growth, Leapfrogging, and Sustainability & Equality—to contrast with a 'Current Path' forecast. It identifies five foundational reforms across governance, education, and subsidies that are essential for progress regardless of the chosen pathway.

The December 2023/January 2024 edition of the Peace & Security Council Report evaluates the African Union's (AU) Peace and Security Council (PSC) performance in 2023, highlighting a trend toward discussing thematic issues over sensitive country crises. It examines the challenges of consensus-based decision-making, the upcoming 2024 AU chairship and PSC membership elections, and the potential impact of the UN's New Agenda for Peace on African security architecture.

This report by the Institute for Security Studies analyzes Tunisia's development trajectory toward 2040. It examines the country's current economic stagnation, demographic shifts, and vulnerabilities to climate change, while proposing three alternative policy pathways—Going for Growth, Leapfrogging, and Sustainability & Equality—to unlock the nation's human capital and improve governance.

This document is the acknowledgements and introductory front matter for a special report titled "The Rebirth: Tunisia’s potential development pathways to 2040," produced by the African Futures & Innovation (AFI) programme of the Institute for Security Studies (ISS).

This report section analyzes Tunisia's basic infrastructure, focusing on water and sanitation, energy and electricity, and information and communications technology (ICT), as part of a broader study on development pathways to 2040.

This policy brief by the Institute for Security Studies examines the African Union's (AU) efforts to engage youth in democratic governance. It argues that while normative frameworks like the African Youth Charter and the African Governance Architecture–Youth Engagement Strategy (AGA–YES) exist, there is a significant gap between these theoretical rights and the practical reality for young Africans, who often face unemployment and political marginalisation.

This report evaluates the 'Next Generation Policy Directions' project, which trained young researchers from seven developing countries to integrate information society and sustainable development policies. It finds that while youth can directly influence national ICT strategies and bridge policy gaps due to their interdisciplinary flexibility, they require strong institutional support and tailored gender-inclusive strategies to be effective. Key success factors included 'learning by doing' and providing researchers with a sense of ownership over their work.

This report by the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) and the South Centre provides a first-quarter 2004 update on international intellectual property (IP) policy. It highlights a strategic shift by developed countries, particularly the United States, away from multilateral forums like the WTO toward bilateral and regional trade agreements to implement 'TRIPS-plus' standards. The document specifically analyzes the risk of 'non-violation complaints' being applied to IP in these bilateral deals, which could erode the flexibilities available to developing countries under the TRIPS Agreement.
