Perhaps the difference in structure, composition and conditions of the emergence of the movement of "Renaissance" Islamic orientation play a positive role in the past five years to reverse the role of Islamic parties in the Arab countries, the movement arose in the circumstances of a secular society, and did not seek to monopolize power and worked to form a troika governor with the wishes of the rest parties, which have earned lower percentages in the elections.
It is injustice to deny the important role of the "renaissance" in overcoming the political stalemate to give up power, and before that to maintain the gains of women and working people, and not try to "Islamization" institutions of governance.
And obviously, the march of the revolution was intercepted by "Deep state" of supporters of the former regime, and social groups is benefiting from the changes, in addition to foreign interventions aim of the revolution a character off course or frustration, and measured the strength of the previous elements equivalent to the power of "counter-revolution" or perhaps more, but Tunisia was able to overcome the problems civilized ways, and to complete the process of democratic transition of power in more than one occasion, and must not be neglected important factor is the high ceiling of the demands of the people and their aspirations in the transitional period after the revolutions, most social groups think that the victory of the revolution to remove the former regime automated means to achieve all demands and raise the standard of living, which did not materialize in the Tunisian experience, or any other revolutionary experiments in accordance with the principle of "Be!", but on the contrary may fall level for a short period before re-starting forward.
It is clear that the economic situation has become much more difficult than pre-revolutionary period which data and indicators reveal, rate of growth until the end of the third quarter of last year amounted to 0.7 percent on an annual basis, and compared the Tunisian economy grew at rates of more than 5 percent before the revolution by international institutions.

And gathered a number of negative factors in the failure to achieve high growth rates in the past years, Vojoa lack of political stability and security in the surroundings tempered the attractiveness of Tunisia investment, and strikes and protests demands for workers phosphate plants cost the country losses exceed two billion US dollars in the years after the revolution.
And droughts caused the decline in the production of important crops such as cereals, which Hui production by about 40 percent in the last year, and added to all this the consequences of the European debt crisis and its impact negatively on the Tunisian exports to the EU countries size.
With growth rates of about 1.6 per year in the years after the revolution, successive governments have failed to solve the unemployment crisis, and according to official data, the unemployment rate rose last year to 15.2 percent, while noting that unemployment rises in the ranks of university students to 30 percent.
And reveals the renewed demonstrations in the south from the catastrophic failure in creating a new development model takes into account the demise of social disparities, and regional, as experts estimate that Tunisia needs to growth rates of over 8 percent a year to solve the problem of unemployment, and linking education to the needs of the labor market to stop the migration and take advantage of all the competencies and end unemployment among university graduates.
