Ali-Ridha Chennoufi



Professor of Moral and Political Philosophy, Université de Tunis

Resident at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften:
March‒April 2012

Research topic at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften:
»Les changements politiques en Afrique du Nord : Tunisie, Libye et Maroc«

Project outline:
Il s’agit d’analyser les changements qui se sont produits récemment dans les pays d’Afrique du Nord en essayant de déterminer, d’une part, leurs causes et leurs objectifs et, d’autre part, les forces sociales qui les ont conduits et surtout les systèmes normatifs auxquels ces forces se réfèrent pour légitimer leurs actions. Cette analyse devra tenir compte à la fois des facteurs internes et spécifiques de chaque pays et des intérêts des puissances étrangères dans la région.
rnUne attention particulière sera accordée à la manière avec laquelle les partis islamistes, propulsés démocratiquement au sommet du pouvoir, tentent de faire face aux revendications matérielles et politiques de régions entières qui ont vécu depuis des décennies dans la misère la plus totale. En dernière analyse, la question est de savoir si l’islam politique va être capable de s’adapter à un mode de gouvernance démocratique ou s’il va instaurer une dictature religieuse. (Ali-Ridha Chennoufi)

Research partner:
Being invited by the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities, Ali-Ridha Chennoufi’s stay is supported by the Stifterverband der deutschen Wissenschaft.
