ABSTRACT Eight years after the Arab Spring revolutions, Tunisia's state and citizens are crafting an increasingly resilient national social contract, despite setbacks. This case study examines what is driving Tunisia's efforts, focusing in particular on key transition initiatives – including a national dialogue and a forward-looking constitution adopted by broad consensus, following nation-wide consultations. The case examines how informed and empowered Tunisians built these structures to leverage the inherent resilience capacities of the people, which developed throughout state and civil society formation, women's movements, labour movements, and civic education. The research suggests that two issues that gave rise to the revolution have remained particular challenges for efforts to mediate and address conflict: political and social polarisation and lack of livelihoods. It reveals how Tunisians are calling for more inclusion and institutionalised citizen engagement as a means to address them. Conclusions point to how post-revolution, democratisation gains as well as values of compromise, tolerance, dialogue appear to be immunising Tunisia against irreparable reversals and are laying the foundations for sustainable democratic peace.

改善和平：突尼斯达成新的社会契约

摘要阿拉伯之春革命八年后，突尼斯的国家和公民尽管遭受了挫折，但仍在制定越来越有弹性的国家社会契约。本案例研究考察了推动突尼斯努力的动力，尤其着眼于关键的过渡举措-包括全国对话和经过全国协商后通过的，具有广泛共识的前瞻性宪法。该案例研究了突尼斯人如何明智和权能地建立这些结构，以利用人民的固有抗灾能力，这种能力在国家和民间社会的形成，妇女运动，劳工运动和公民教育中得到发展。研究表明，引发革命的两个问题仍然是调解和解决冲突的特殊挑战：政治和社会两极分化和生计不足。它揭示了突尼斯人如何呼吁更多的包容性和制度化的公民参与，以解决这些问题。结论指出，革命后的民主化成果以及妥协，宽容，对话的价值观如何使突尼斯免于不可挽回的逆转，并为可持续的民主和平奠定了基础。
