'Managing Transition provides an exceptional and comprehensive chronicle of the micro-practices and difficult dilemmas faced by interim governments in Tunisia and Libya following the Arab Uprisings in 2011. It is a compelling analysis of decision-makers' struggles with simultaneously enacting change and preserving continuity as the two nations undergo transition from authoritarian rule - Sabina Henneberg ultimately calls into question whether it is even possible to define the parameters of a 'successful' transition.' Edwige Fortier, Research Associate, Department of Development Studies, SOAS 'Sabina Henneberg elucidates the structural factors which incentivize first transitional governments to adopt populist, globalist, and usually dysfunctional policies. She shows how in Tunisia historical precedent and coalition building laid the groundwork for a constitutional transition, while in Libya, feckless leadership set the groundwork for appeasement and state implosion.' Jason Pack, Non-Resident Fellow at the Middle East Institute and Founder of Libya-Analysis LLC
