Democracy Dialogue: A CCD Blog

The views on Democracy Dialogue are intended to provide the opinion and insights of Board members and friends of CCD on a broad range of challenges confronting democracy. Opinions expressed are not intended to reflect the views of CCD or its Board of Directors but are those of the individual authors. It is our hope that these occasional columns shed light on important issues and provoke discussion. Accordingly, we invite readers to enter the dialogue by providing their own views on these issues.

We are living in a historic and crucial moment for the building of real, genuine, and lasting democracy in the Middle East and North Africa. Tunisia has the best chance of success...A lot of experts (most experts) agree that if democracy does not succeed in Tunisia, it will be very difficult for it to succeed in any other Arab country.
