- Abstract
An essay is presented on the nature of the Tunisian protests, an intensive campaign of civil resistance, during 2010-2011. It further focuses on the Islamist party al-Nahdha and its conceptions of secularism as it supported the idea of an electoral democracy. In the end, the author reveals how the notion of public order was invoked in post-Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, Prime minister of Tunisia, Tunisia to outline the limits of individual freedoms.
