حوكمة الأمن الإقليمي و توقعات الجمهور و أدوار السياسة الخارجية : شمال أفريقيا و مطلبها أن تحافظ تونس على "نأيها الإستراتيجي"

الملخص EN

By studying Tunisian foreign policy in the decade after the 2010 popular uprisings, this article contributes to Role Theory by explaining how regional audience expectations influence foreign policy roles.

The article first demonstrates how achieved roles develop expectations among regional states as the audience.

Then it explains how these expectations condition role enactment.

The article shows how Tunisia developed and established a foreign policy posture of strategic distance, defined by neutrality in regional conflicts, adherence to legalism, and pursuit of economic interests.

Strategic distance came to be expected by North African states.
