Professional Mobilizations as Political Mobilizations: Tunisian Lawyers from the “Revolution” to the “Transition” - 2016.

On January 14, 2011, president Ben Ali fled Tunisia following one month of popular insurrection. The insurrectional movements of December 2010-January 2011 have included protests by lawyers that took place in the continuity of previous sectoral mobilizations, since the authoritarian Ben Ali regime had contributed to politicize collective action by the lawyers when it refused to grant the main professional requests of the Tunisian bar. However, these “revolutionary” mobilizations were different from previous ones, since they took part in a popular insurrection and contributed to de-sectorialize social space, before redeploying themselves in a political arena characterized by a fluid conjuncture, propitious to a redefinition of the norms of professional legitimacy.
