The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize to the Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet for its role in establishing a pluralistic democracy in Tunisia following the 2011 revolution. The Quartet, composed of representatives from major Tunisian civil society groups, helped resolve a political crisis when it proposed a national dialogue between political parties. This led to the adoption of a new democratic constitution in 2014. The Quartet's efforts ensured a peaceful transition to democracy and prevented civil war from breaking out in Tunisia. Their success demonstrates that Islamist and secular groups can work together in the interests of society and that democracy can thrive in an Arab Muslim country.
