dc.description.abstractEconomic growth and human development are important indicators of a society’s development. Achieving sustainable economic growth without equitable development and vice versa, does not necessarily guarantee sustainable security and stability in that society as is the case in Tunisia. Many scholars have made attempts at explaining the causes of the 2011 revolution in Tunisia that ended up spreading to other neighboring countries like Egypt and Libya. This study examines how the government’s economic policies failed to achieve equitable economic development outcomes in all the regions in Tunisia despite recording high economic growth. This resulted in political conflict and uprisings mainly by people from the marginalized interior regions. This study argues that it was mainly regional economic inequality that led to the political conflict between regions and government, and ultimately to the Tunisian Jasmine revolution of 2011. However, this study also examines other related factors such as the high unemployment rate and corruption that aggravated the situation. Findings of this study shows that the economic development startegy implemented by the government focused more on the service and industrial sectors which led the government to expend money and resources only on the coastal regions where those sectors are prevalent. The agricultural sector which is dominant in interior regions was neglected which lead to a significant gap in economic development between regions and led to high poverty among people in interior poor regions. As a result of this it can be argued that the discontent of the population in the interior regions escalated culminating in what is now referred to as the Jasmine Revolution of 2011. This study highlights the limitations of the Tunisian government’s policies to ensure equal economic development opportunities in all of its regions and their impact on security and stability in Tunisia. Thus, the study recommends a new clear National Economic Development Strategy based on a new structure of the economy and a reform of the decentralization process for all regions to benefit in terms of development.  ;경제 발전과 인적 개발은 성장의 중요한 척도이다. 튀니지의 경우에, 이 둘 중 하나를 성취하는 것이 지속 가능한 안보와 안정을 반드시 보장하는 것은 아니다. 많은 학자들은 다른 이웃나라로 전이되기 까지 한 2011년 튀니지 혁명의 원인을 규명하고자 노력했다. 본 연구는 높은 경제 성장 기록에도 불구하고 어찌하여 정부의 경제 정책이 튀니지의 전 지역에 평등한 경제 개발 결과를 이루는 데 실패하였는지를 고찰한다. 이러한 실패는 정치적 갈등과 소외된 내륙 지역 시민들에 의한 폭동으로 이어지기도 하였다. 본 연구는 몇몇 다른 뒷받침하는 요인에도 불구하고 지역 간의 불평등한 경제 발전이 혁명의 근본 원인이 아님을 주장한다. 본 연구 결과는 튀니지 정부에 의해 시행된 경제 발전 모델이 서비스와 산업 분야에 더 많이 치중함으로써 정부가 해안 지역 개발에만 주력하였음을 보여준다. 내륙 지역의 주력 분야인 농업분야는 간과되었고, 이는 지역 간 경제 개발의 격차를 가중시켰다. 또한 이러한 정책은 내륙 지역 시민들의 빈곤율을 상승시켰고, 내륙 지역 시민들의 가중된 불만이 현재 자스민 혁명으로 일컬어 지고 있다. 본 연구는 모든 지역에 동등한 경제 발전 기회를 보장하려는 정부 정책의 한계와 튀니지의 안보와 안정에 끼친 그 영향에 주목했다는 점에서 중요한 의의를 지닌다. 결론적으로, 본 연구는 새로운 경제 구조에 기반한 새롭고 명확한 국가 발전 전략 수립과 모든 지역에 발전의 혜택이 주어지는 탈집중화의 개혁을 제안한다.-
