This sets out to explore the complex interplay between political transformation, (economic) globalization and contentious politics from the margins in Morocco and Tunisia. By using the margins as a lens, the project contributes to the existing debates in three academic fields: development studies, (post-)democratization studies and social movement theory (SMT).
