has been led by two presidents, who have had a
significant impact on Tunisian society.

6. Its first modern leader, President Habib Bourguiba brought to the office
hard-won political experience, after many decades of service among the
leadership of the independence movement. As the major figure of the
Neo-Destuor Party, he was instrumental in obtaining full independence
for Tunisia in 1956. He dominated the government until his removal in
1987. During his years in office, his accomplishments included: a law
reform, economic policies which detoured briefly in a socialist direction,
a moderate but steady improvement in standard of living, and a foreign
policy which retained an independent approach while maintaining trade
and economic connections to the west.

7. Ben Ali became President of the Republic in 1987, and kept power until
he was forced to leave in 2011. His economic policies have emphasized a
market orientation. His attempt at reapproachment with Islamist groups
did not meet expectations. The ruling party was reorganized. Under his
leadership Tunisia's economy, continued to perform at a pace which
yielded a moderate but overall steady rate of growth.

presidential representative democratic republic,[ with a President serving as
head of state, Prime Minister as head of government, a unicameral legislature
and a court system influenced by French civil law. Between 1956 and 2011,
Tunisia operated as a de facto one-party state, with politics dominated by the
secular Constitutional Democratic Rally (RCD) under former Presidents
Habib Bourgiba and then Zine el Abidine Ben Ali. However, in 2011 a
national uprising led to the ousting of the

democracy. October 2014 saw the first democratic parliamentary elections since

85 seats in the 217-member assembly.[2]
