Full textThe audiovisual media play an important role in building the rule of law in countries in political transition, through their role as a watchdog, and through their role in promoting democratic debate and in monitoring most important element of democracy, which is free and fair elections. However, the media can play a negative role that threatens state stability and destabilizes the regime if exploited to achieve narrow personal and partisan interests.In Libya, since the fall of the regime, there has been a rapid and massive change in the field of audiovisual media. However, the absence of legal legislation regulating the media and the absence of an independent regulatory body have made the Libyan media scene a chaotic one characterized by political, regional and even tribal polarization.This thesis attempts to analyze the audiovisual media scene and to relate it to the political and media history of Libya from before independence to the present day. We also try, through this thesis, to know the role that media regulation can play in promoting democracy and the rule of law, extrapolating some theories and opinions of those interested in this field, and by extrapolating the post-revolution Tunisian experience in the field of media regulation

Sarroukh, Zohra. "Islam et politique dans le maghreb contemporain "maroc, algerie, tunisie, libye"." Nancy 2, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996NAN20004.
Full textIn the maghreb, islam and politics have always been totally overlapping. Whatever the position reserved for it in political institutions, the powers in politics have always made islam play a role of first order at the ideological level. However, islam has likewise always provided a place for protest for social forces seeking justice and, beyond that participation in power. This cultural heritage still seems to affect both mentality and behaviour. Since independence, the authorities existing in the maghreb have been working to modernise the political system. However, since the bases of this effort have not been very solid, due to the eclecticism which has nourished them (a dosage of islam and modernity), the systems that have been born from it have contained contradictory elements producing social anomy in these countries as a result. This situation has encouraged the emergence of protest movements, in which islam predominates. Yet here also, some islamic fundamentalists would like to make islam play a cultural and religious role that could lead to an impasse, and that threatens the social fabric itself. So as to avoid these two dangers (social anomy and civil war), the protagonists are asked to make considerable efforts at the philosophical level in order to construct a political system with sound philosophical foundations. These foundations must not ignore islam, the social religion par excellence, nor should they ignore modernity, the latter being vital so as to be relevant to the times. It is only once common ground has been found regarding the bases of the national community, that divergences of opinion will appear normal and tolerable to one side and the another

Full textDuring nine centuries the coast towns from the small Sirte and from the Tripolitania were Punic. From the sixth century b. C. , the Phoenicians had settled along the littoral. Literary source, archeology, epigraphy confirme that there was once a Punic presence all over this area. Tacape, Gigthis, Sabratha, Oea, Lepcis were the Carthage's emporia even after Carthage's disappearance, in 146 b. C. , the Punic culture had been certified. The senate, the plebeian assembly, and the shophet were the most famous institutions. Later, during the Numidian era and from the Roman era to the second century of hours, their culture and civilization testify to the persistence of the Phoenician-Punic contribution

Full textThe judicial order of Maghrebi's countries is characterised by an imitation of the laws of the ex - metropolis and by the growing influence of neo - liberal rules of a western nature. The translations of this exogenous law accentuates its shortcomings while the perennality of islam is a significant reality. States use for various ends, its strong legitimizing capacity and the legal relationships between individuals are still impregnated by it. Political and legal evolution to come cannot occur without islam, a modern interpretation of the Char'ia could favorise the emergence of a modernity at the same time endogenous and open to the world, accepted by the people for whom the religious variable remains central

Full textThe sedimentology and tectonics and their relationship of the Paleozoic series that fill the Ghadames basin and its northern extension consisting of the Jefarah basin in Libya and Tunisia was studied. These formations belong to the Gondwana cycle and are typically interpreted as being deposited in a cratonic basin truncated by the Hercynian unconformity. This study is based on wells. The stratigraphic correlation between the wells is based on the definition of second order cycles. This allowed to produce isopach maps of facies distributions and to reconstruct the paleogeography of the different stratigraphic units. These data allow to address the nature of the deformation and also clarifies the behavior of active high regional areas during the Palaeozoic. The Paleozoic succession in the Ghadames and Jefarah basins can be divided in to five first order sequences, bounded by major tectonic unconformities with sequence duration of 40 - 70 Ma. Within these five sequences eighteen second order sequences (10 - 40 Ma) were differentiated, describing Sequence Boundaries (SB), Maximum Flooding Surfaces (MFS) and sedimentological characteristics. Twenty six wells with its geological well reports and well logs have been used in the study area, i.e. the Ghadames and Jefarah basins (Libya) illustrate how reservoir properties changes laterally and vertically through time (from a proximal to a distal sitting). Two softwares were used, JLog (version 4) petrophysical software for reservoir property analysis and PETREL (Schlumberger software 2014 version) for constructing stratigraphic correlation models. The Paleozoic reservoirs in the study area are spread over a large range of siliciclastic reservoirs with the prospective section extending from Cambrian to Permian. Hydrocarbons within the Ghadames and Jefarah basins originated from two major source rocks: i.e. the Lower Silurian Tanezoft Formation and Middle-Upper Devonian Aouinat Ounine Formation. The nine main Paleozoic reservoirs are respectively the Hassaouna, Haouaz and Memouniat Formations (Lower Paleozoic), Acacus, Tadrart, Ouan Kaza and Tahara Formations (Middle Paleozoic) and M’rar and Asadjefar Formations (Upper Paleozoic). Six stratigraphic cross sections through the area have been reconstructed to illustrate the vertical and lateral reservoir extensions. The dataset demonstrates that the Paleozoic reservoir properties are influenced by both, depositional facies and position within the paleogeographical setting (from proximal to distal part)

Full textThe central problematic treated in this thesis is interested in the phenomenon of mobility of the populations of Southeastern Tunisia, through history, of which the most recent one was caused by the trans-border dynamic of the informai trade following the opening of the Tuniso-Libyan borders on February 15th, 1988 and the agreements of the Union of the Maghreb Arab (February 17th, 1989). The typology that has been developed between the System of nomadic socioeconomic production and that of the informai trade, was based on a historie retrospective (first part of the thesis) and monitoring of this new phenomenon since its appearance in 1988 (the third part of the thesis). Between 1992 and 2006, several investigations by questionnaires have been carried out (1992, March 2006, July 2006). Data provided by these investigations and field researches by the différent involved partners and social actors allowed us to settle the dynamics of the informai trade under its two dimension: the first one is relative to the historie base of the former tribal structure of the society in the Southern Tunisia, the second is relative to the context of globalization (the « new nomadism ») : real incubator of the informai trade or « globalization at the bottom »

Full textDuring the opening of the Neotethys Ocean north of the Ghadames and Jeffara basin, an extensional phase created subsidence. It resulted in the deposition of the first syn-rift strata aged Middle to Upper Permian (El Watiah formation) and Lower to Middle Triassic (Bir el Jaja, Ouled Chebbi and Ras Hamia / Kirchaou formations). This study provides details of the stratigraphic and sequential architecture of triassic siliciclastic series and the upper clastic part of the El Watiah formation. 221 wells and 18 sedimentological field sections (outcrops from south Tunisia) have been correlated across the entire Ghadames basin and Jeffara. An organization in 11 sequences has been highlighted. 28 isochores and paleogeographic maps have been drawn. In terms of tectonostratigraphy, a major thickening of sequences has been confirmed toward the North of Jeffara, resulting from a very strong and differential subsidence. Low and subtle differential subsidence has been demonstrated in the southern part of the basin. In addition, a new sedimentological interpretation of the TAGI formation (lateral equivalent of the ladinian Ras Hamia formation) has been considered in the El Borma area

Therefore, the report retraces Italian main approaches – also from the regulatory point of view – adopted in that decade of tentative help actions which preceded a real cooperation. The analyse of postcolonial relationships evolution by such support policies, and the focus on motives, results and prospects of Italian assistance to Africa try to understand how and when such a behaviour brought about the reversal of the country’s colonial attitude, and to verify the permanence of a colonial culture in Italy during the postwar period.

The Jeffarian tribes culture between myth and reality, the relationship between governors and governed in a space of sovereignty where consequences of a double nature appear : (endogenous and exogenous) conveying the weight of the international environment, power and forces of opposition in Jeffara, the marking and the demarcation of the space leading to a struggle againts The Turkish, the french and the italian expansion.

The foreign powers and the use of force and diplomatic practice that separated tribes forming a society marked by war values and grouped in a semi-autonomous confederation. This society being between the regency of Tunis and the Wilaya of Tripoli formed a kind of and independent state that stands between the Othmans in tripoli and the Regency of Tunis to prevent any relationship between them. Considered by the french protectorate as Makhzen tribes in a territory announced military and marginalized by the Beys of Tunis and the Othomans of Tripoli. The Jeffara, space of confused and shared sovereignty by the tribes and the foreign powers, this Saharan space has been produced by the diachronic superimposing od two political spaces-one of the central power showing a tendency to create a rivalry with other outlying powers this establishing a relationship of annexation

Full textThe principle of separation of powers is one of the most important principles on which the idea of modern democracy is governed by the rule of law. It is a fundamental pillar of the structure of a democratic political system based on cooperation and balance between powers. This principle was expressed by Plato, Aristotle, John Locke, Montesquieu, and Rousseau. In the wake of the American and French revolutions, and their applications has become the most important guarantee to prevent the domination and tyranny of rulers as well as respect for human rights and freedoms and justice.This research aims at enlightening those interested in studying the law in its importance and prestige in the constitutional rules of the state. (Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria, Libya, and Morocco) and its impact on their constitutions, to determine whether the separation of powers is theoretical or practical, and to examine the specificity of these countries in applying this principle

Full textIn the first part entitled "spaces of the maghreb", we saw how the french-speaking writers, form the maghreb succeed in writing and building up their relationship with their space of origin. In the second part of our work, devoted to the "spaces of writing", we came to the conclusion that there are some similarities or some differences in the space-writing techniques peculiar to each of the authors studied here. In the third part, "today's imaginary world of islam : from the original mythical exile to today's real exile", we first evoked mahomet's exile. Then, we tried to check wether the prophet's exile, which was the foundation of the kingdom of islam, was still promising for the north africans, "candidates for exile", or if, on the contrary, it went off along with tear and wound. In our fourth and last part, "exiles and the french-speaking literature from the maghreb", we attempted to study the link to the french language for writers from the maghreb. Then we dedicated ourselves to the study of the place of the french-speaking literature from the maghreb within the arab and french literatures. Finally, we looked into the concept of exile for north african writers

Full textThe J'farra, the region crossed by the Tunisian-Libyan border, is the history land of tribal confederations; the Werghemmas and the Nouaïels. For nearly a century, she knows a set of mutations that affect both types of resource and the landscape. In a predominantly pastoral region, dominated by a tribal and nomadic social organization, the J'farra experienced a period of economic marginality before becoming, since the year 1989 the earth of smuggling. However, the J'farra is not only an area of tolerance established by the authorities or an exemption zone economic or legal exception, but a territory of structured claims from local tribal groups, forms of subversion of the border, informal activities of various forms inherent in the globalization of trade and symbolic representations based on the values of the past. When the local tribal networks have succeeded in creating a new economic reality through informal activities around the border, agrees that an early re-territorialisation around. The networks are driven primarily by a particular category, the aâmem. The aâmem have shown themselves capable of inventing alternative forms of supervision that have replaced those of the state and managed to "make land". However, the territory in the emerging J'farra is not homogeneous and leads to a series of clashes. In addition, the network is a system j'farri action and authority, and it is characterized by a hierarchy and inequality among its members, generating divisions among its members. The activity of the informal network of transnational j'farri not working in opposition to the State territory as against the state institution to which he tries to escape. The transgression of the border, the trivialization of its crossing by the descendants of ancient nomads, the reactivation of old tribal solidarity within border informal trade networks and the integration to the globalized market, paving the way for the reinvention, according to new practices , the former "conceiving of life" of the population of J'farra and its territory

Full textOur reflection concerns the modern maghrebian texts, which is to say this category of texts which calls attention more on the transactions at work in their poetics than on the final recognition of a message. These transactions were only made possible thanks to the intense activity of writer subject's crisis in front of the historical and cultural dead end and in the conflict of codes of reference between orient and occident. The writer attempts to articulate to literature a critical reflection on anchoring and subtsituting fonctions, and its capacities to forge a maghrebian cultural maghreb is read in these texts as enigma which as question demands to be placed in the complex field of double criticism of systems of references and empty value whether they be original or imported from orient and occident. Maghred would have to negogiate with itself its own history. The writer thus attempts to conjugate policies and philosophy, poetry and esthetics to realize foundating separations and to reactivate history. History discourse is entirely tightened by the subject's crisis. History, in these texts, aims at oversteppings the dead end, and perhaps at historical theory of overstepping such as it may be formulated in intervals between cultural and civilizational areas as well as spaces of transit

Full textThe tragedy of the commons poses that when the use of a good is common, that good will tend to be over-used. But what happens when this good is water in a basin on which three countries depend? And what happens when the geopolitical situation makes the possibility of shared inter-state governance unlikely? In this thesis we take the case of the SASS basin, between Tunisia, Algeria and Libya and consider the different possible modes of water governance. In particular, we follow a modality that seemed promising to us, that international experts, from the authority of their technical and economic knowledge, could make adopted the solution that seems the best to them.Thanks to a double ethnographic inquiry, first with a dive in the experts' laboratory, then as close as possible to water management in Tunisian oases, we evaluate the performativity of the experts' model. We notice a certain performativity in modern oases but a lot of resistance in the more traditional ones. This leads us to uncover another tragedy. Even if the model of the experts, which is based on market prices, made it possible to mitigate the tragedy of the commons, it would lead to another tragedy: that of the end of a form of life, a peasant way of life, lived by a large population, forming part of the heritage of humanity. From tragedy to tragedy, only a heuristic of fear, as proposed by H. Jonas, could lead to the common invention of dignified and sustainable solutions for water management

This situation as evolued during the works of the third conference on the law of the sea. In fact the 21 arab states have this time participated actively to the elaboration of the new law, creating in a like manned united group under the gouvernance of the arab league. However this unity is trouved precarious as giver evidence the case concerning the tunisian libyan continental shelf. As for the convention adopted in 1982 in montego bay, it was signed by all the arab states. And as the arab unity was precarious and that era of disillusion has quickly began, the convention was only ratified by six states prouving chiefly the victory of the sea nationalisme even among the arab.

Find full textWhen the series of protests started in the Arab World at the beginning of 2011 none of the experts, including American intelligence, did not predict how widespread the changes would be in the region. Researchers in most important world think tanks did not predict that stable dictatorships could fall apart in only a couple of weeks.From the early stages of the Arab Spring American media paid close attention to what happened in North Africa. The story appeared in mainstream news when mass protests moved from Tunisia to Egypt. American journalists were especially interested in Egyptian turmoil – Egypt was Washington’s closest ally in the Arab World for 30 years. Journalists felt the era is beginning to crumble. In 2011 “Time” called The Protester The Person of the Year. It was believed that the region has just overcome the spring of nations that Europe experienced in ’89. Free, democratic elections held in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya were the outright effect of the so-called spring. However, elections were the last optimistic breeze of that particular spring. It quickly turned out that along with dictatorships, the status quo of regional politics and alliances has fallen down. Arab Spring has also awakened and strengthened Islamic radicalism. Three models of post-Arab Spring developments can be observed at the moment: 1/ an attempt to create new, democratic governments without visible changes to standards of living in the society (Tunisia), 2/ old regime-friendly figures’ power return (Egypt), 3/ escalating chaos and violence; power vacuum that created perfect environment for Islamic radicals (Libya, Syria). Four mentioned countries are the subjects of research of the dissertation: Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Syria. Not only the Arab Spring in those four countries was widely covered by world journalists, but also American journalists covered the selection with great attention. Tunisia and Egypt were for three decades listed as close allies of the US in the region, Libya became the subject of first foreign military intervention under president Obama and Syria became a part of strategic debate in the United States on military intervention and sphere of influence.„Time” magazine is the most important American magazine of opinion, especially in covering international issues. Biggest circulation among American magazines, prestigious history of covering international events and experienced staff in the field in the Middle East made the magazine valuable as a subject of research. American administration is being evaluated by the magazine, read not only by ordinary Americans but also leaders around the globe. „Time’s” journalists were especially interested in developments and changes of American foreign policy in the region. „Time” magazine is a benchmark of American journalism and the image of American Foreign Policy introduced by the magazine creates rationales for the perception of US foreign policy in many places in the world.For that reason main aims of the dissertation are:1/ Researching what was the image of American Foreign Policy towards the Arab Spring according to TIME Magazine, 2/ Researching the relevancy of Arab Spring coverage for „Time” as well as for American reader, 3/ An attempt of naming the doctrine of American Foreign Policy towards the Arab Spring countries.Research has been narrowed to three years of „Time” publishing: 154 papers from the period of January 2011-December 2013 has been taken into consideration. Timeframe of the research was set according to the paste of events – the Arab Spring was first mentioned in the magazine in January 2011, the last analytic article about the events was published in September 2013.
