Dangerous Alliances: Civil Society, the Media and Democratic Transition in North Africa
Autor Lise Garonen Limba Engleză Paperback – iun 2003
It is an illuminating study of the complex and very diverse encounters between civil society and the authorities in Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco, as opposition has built up in each society and those in power have confronted the pressures for democratization.
The author provides a significant contribution to political sociology's understanding - via the development of a dynamic systems model that incorporates the existence of fundamental conflict - of how democratic institutions can become institutionalized, and of the constant possibility of any democratic transition being reversed.

Recenzii
The painstaking research, rigorous analysis and clearly defined conclusions make this book an excellent teaching tool, widely relevant beyond Tunisia and the Maghreb.
Analyses the web of concealment, distortion, and misinformation which anaesthetizes citizens' awareness not just in the Third World, but also and especially in the West.
One of the best investigations ever offered on the three countries that make up the Maghreb: Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia.
