In 2011, Tunisian dictator Ben Ali was thrown by a popular uprising, and since January 14, this north-African country is going through a democratic transition.

Abstract

In 2011, Tunisian dictator Ben Ali was thrown by a popular uprising, and since January 14, this north-African country is going through a democratic transition. This considerable change in the sociopolitical situation of the country is also involving the Tunisians living in foreign countries. In this article, based on field work among the Tunisians resident in Italy, we discuss the new way of being citizen abroad, during a democratization phase. After a theoretical introduction to modern citizenship frameworks, we expose and examine the participatory behavior, through the analysis of the process of formation of a new free civil society. The concept of citizenship is then discussed with regard to territorial, membership and belonging issues raised in the post-modern societies.
