From 1987 until 2011, the people of Tunisia suffered under autocratic rule, but in 2011, a popular revolution overthrew the ruler, resulting in its current representative democracy. This paper will examine the recent history of Tunisia leading up to the revolution. It will then examine realist, liberal and constructivist theory, as applied to the Tunisian revolution, and determine which theory best explains the events. Lastly, it will inform the kinds of policies we should adopt for similar revolutions in the future. The Tunisian Revolution had three phases: the decade leading up to the revolution, the twenty-five-day revolution that lead to the ousting of the president and the three-year period that followed, which resulted in a successful representative democracy that exists today. Competing theories seek to explain the causes and outcomes of the revolution; however, constructivist theory best describes the factors that lead up to and followed the revolution. The events of this revolution illustrate that economic and political factors that established the conditions in which technological advances empowered people to mobilize effectively, and ultimately led to a dramatic change in the government.

In January 2011, an unexpected revolution erupted in Tunisia and similar revolutions quickly spread to Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Libya and Syria; a period that has come to be known as the Arab Spring. It all began with the Jasmine revolution, named for the Tunisian official flower, in which angry protestors convinced the military to withdraw support for the President, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. After Ben Ali fled to Saudi Arabia, competing political coalitions negotiated the terms in which they formed an increasingly representative government. By October 2011, Tunisia had successfully elected a new president and in 2014, completed its second peaceful political transfer of power since the revolution. The grand strategist seeks to understand forces and factors that drive revolutions and influence their outcomes. A close examination of this period reveals the strategic factors that influenced the revolution and the political reforms that followed it. Realist, liberal and constructivist lenses all offer explanations for the Tunisian revolution. A comparison of these perspectives offers a tool to help us understand the relationship between polices and outcomes, which can be used to understand and possibly foresee future occurrences.
