It becomes a race to the top. I think this point really stands out. One of the most striking realizations I had when I joined the Tunisian government as an advisor to the minister of finance was the deep distrust high-level state officials had towards civil society organizations. I hadn’t fully understood just how deep that suspicion or even fear ran until I met with a member of the European Parliament who served on the delegation for relations with the Maghreb countries. She mentioned that during Ben Ali’s dictatorship, Tunisia was the only country that sent the names of civil society activists and political opponents to Interpol, labeling them as terrorists. Can you imagine?
