The Tunisian Revolution and Democratic Transition : The Role of al-Nahdah
Drawing on the history of post-independence Tunisia, the book studies the evolution of al-Nah?ah as a political party in Tunisia and its role in a protracted struggle to shape the post-authoritarian order along democratic lines.It explores al-Nah?ah's relationship with the Tunisian state, society and beyond that resulted in shaping its fluctuating expressions of ideology and practices. State repression, political participation, or internal differentiation (among other factors) place an Islamic movement (in this case al-Nah?ah) in such a situation that demands a perpetual self re-evaluation as well as implementation of ideology, objectives, and political programmes.The study explains how the socio-political setting in Tunisia demanded various ideologically opposite currents (Islamic, liberal, or leftist) to endure cross-ideological cooperation either to contest authoritarian regimes or to engage in the political process.It more importantly analyzes the trajectory of a gradual democratization process in the country and provides evidence explaining the impact and importance of a vibrant civil society, building alliances, and sharing of power. The book provides comparative analytical attention to the primary sources on these issues to create a critical historiography.It thus adds to the body of literature on the state, society, and politics in the MENA region and particularly targets students, scholars, and social scientists interested in understanding the nature of power and politics in Tunisia and beyond.

Digital Protest and Activism in Public Education : Reactions to Neoliberal Restructuring in Israel
Digital protest and activism in reaction to the consequences of neoliberalism in public education have become a global phenomenon in the second decade of the 21st century, emerging in countries such as the US, UK, France, and Israel.Teachers, parents, and other stakeholders in education are increasingly using digital media in their protest and activism efforts, yet these efforts have hardly been investigated to date.This book addresses this gap and employs an empirical exploration of the way in which Internet-based protest activity concerning public education issues is constructed, mobilised, and carried out.In doing so it provides key insights for the study of educational politics in the digital age.It shows how digital media is used by teachers and parents to create a bottom-up politics, spanning a common divide in the study of education politics between the macro (policymaking) and the micro (school) levels.The authors propose a novel taxonomy of uses of social media by digital activists, and argue that Internet-based social mobilisations develop different patterns of use of social media, based on the lived experience of their members and potential supporters.Finally, the book situates the rise of digital activism in education within the neoliberal restructuring of national education systems and the rise of neoliberal discourse of competition, budget discipline, and measurable achievements.The authors highlight three cases of Internet-based mobilisations in Israel, in which teachers and parents successfully affected public education policy. By providing a case-study driven analysis of digital protest and activism in education, this book will prove an invaluable text for researchers, leaders and practitioners in the field of education policy and comparative education.

What role did the Druids have in the Neolithic Revolution?
The Druids did not have a direct role in the Neolithic Revolution, as they emerged much later in history, during the Iron Age. The Neolithic Revolution occurred around 10,000 BCE, marking the transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture and settlement. However, the Druids were later known as religious leaders, scholars, and judges in Celtic societies, and they likely played a role in the spiritual and social aspects of agricultural practices and the communities that emerged during the Neolithic period. Their influence may have contributed to the development of rituals and beliefs surrounding agriculture and the natural world.

What role did the church play in the French Revolution?
The church played a significant role in the French Revolution, as it was a major target of the revolutionaries. The revolution sought to challenge the power and influence of the Catholic Church, which was deeply intertwined with the monarchy and the old regime. The revolutionaries sought to secularize society and diminish the authority of the church, leading to the nationalization of church lands and the abolition of the church's privileges. This ultimately led to the rise of a new state-controlled church, the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, which further weakened the traditional authority of the Catholic Church in France.

Should freedom of speech play a role in private spaces?
Freedom of speech should be respected in private spaces, as individuals should have the right to express their opinions and ideas without fear of censorship or repercussion. However, private spaces also have the right to establish their own rules and guidelines for communication within their boundaries. It is important to find a balance between respecting freedom of speech and maintaining a respectful and inclusive environment within private spaces. Ultimately, it is up to the owners and operators of private spaces to determine the extent to which freedom of speech is allowed within their boundaries.

What was the revolution of 1848/49 and what role did the counter-revolution play?
The revolution of 1848/49 was a series of widespread uprisings and protests across Europe, sparked by a desire for political and social change. It was a time of great upheaval, with people from various social classes and backgrounds coming together to demand greater political representation, civil liberties, and economic reforms. The counter-revolution, on the other hand, was the response by conservative forces to suppress the revolutionary movements and restore the old order. This led to a period of political repression and the rollback of many of the gains made by the revolutionaries, ultimately resulting in the failure of the revolutionary movements in most parts of Europe.

What is role diffusion and role distance?
Role diffusion refers to the blurring of boundaries between different roles a person occupies, leading to confusion and conflict. This can happen when a person takes on too many responsibilities or when roles overlap in a way that is unclear. On the other hand, role distance refers to the emotional detachment or disengagement from a particular role, often as a coping mechanism to protect oneself from the demands or expectations associated with that role. Both role diffusion and role distance can impact an individual's sense of identity and well-being.
