Since the 2011 Arab Spring, Muslim-majority countries have witnessed rising pressures and expectations from their citizens to ensure the protection of human rights while undergoing democratic transitions. Discussions on human rights and democracy in the Muslim world inevitably include the formation of pro-democratic coalitions between secularists and Islamists, the impact of secularist fears and constituencies on political dynamics, and the prospects for political moderation. By examining the failure of Tunisia's democratic transition, how do we analyze the similarities and differences among democratizing nations with significant Muslim populations?
Join us in this exciting Edraak webinar to debate these critical issues as we;
1. Examine the success and struggle of transition to democracy in Tunisia, and how they might speak to democratic transition attempts in other Muslim-majority countries
2. Reflect on the progress in reforming democracy and human rights in Muslim societies in particular
Islam and Liberty Network would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has made our second ILN Edraak Webinar: 'Tunisia's Failed Democratic Transition: What went wrong?' series a success!

Introducing Edraak - Recognizing Liberty, Islam and Liberty Network's latest webinar series!
Democracy is conducive for good governance, human rights and accountability, thus empowering citizens to change their governments. However, democracies can also become plutocracies and captured by the deep state. They may also initiate colonial conquests, wars of aggression and crimes against humanity.
Is liberal democracy on the rise or on a path to decline in the world, particularly in the Muslim societies? Do we have any alternatives?
Listen to the first podcast of this exciting new series to understand these critical issues.
