Reviews

I found this book both insightful and timely. Tavis D. Jules skillfully reveals how educational aid has been used not only to support the schools but also as a subtle diplomatic tool in shaping post-revolution Tunisia. His concept of ‘educational diplomacy’ offers a powerful lens to understand the intersection of politics, soft power, and education. A must-read for anyone interested in how foreign aid influences both learning and the country’s future. * Professor Donia Smaali Bouhlila *
