The colonial history of Tunisia has long been dictated by colonial sources that made the qaid (an official in charge of fiscal attributions), from the viewpoint of the capital city, a local notable and often a prevaricator. This study proposes to reconsider the relationship between government and regional power in the colonial context by drawing on the recent work of Ottoman studies about provincial elites. The article studies the fiscal reforms of the interwar period in a cereal-growing region of Tunisia, relying on sources in Arabic produced by the qaids, namely the administrative correspondence between local authorities, the prime minister, and colonial controllers. This article describes the role of qaids in the negotiation between national law and local specificities and finally highlights the role of decentralization and a local way of thinking about the state in the 1930s. It contributes to colonial history and the history of taxation by highlighting the territorial fractures in North Africa and the agency of local actors under the protectorate.

地方合法性和税收政策:Qaids 作为殖民地突尼斯综合国家的一部分

突尼斯的殖民历史长期以来一直由殖民来源决定,从首都的角度来看,qaid(负责财政归属的官员)是当地知名人士,而且往往是推诿者。本研究拟通过借鉴奥斯曼帝国近期关于省级精英的研究工作,重新考虑殖民背景下政府与地区权力之间的关系。本文研究了两次世界大战期间突尼斯谷物种植区的财政改革,依赖于 Qaids 制作的阿拉伯语资料,即地方当局、总理和殖民控制者之间的行政通信。本文描述了 Qaids 在国家法律和地方特殊性之间的谈判中的作用,最后强调了分权的作用和 1930 年代对国家的地方思考方式。它通过突出北非的领土分裂和受保护国下当地行为者的机构,为殖民历史和税收历史做出了贡献。
