Abstract
In the late 2010, Tunisian revolutionaries toppled the authoritarian regime of Ben Ali. Tunisian rebels inspired a few other nations to rise against dictators. Among all countries involved in the Arab revolutions, only Tunisia seems to be completing democratic transition. The main question of this article is how political transition in Tunisia affects the formation and stability of good governance in this country. To answer this question, theoretical foundations of good governance are combined with analytical model of democratic transitions. The results showed that a dynamic and stable middle class civil society, a small professional army, ethnic and religious homogeneity, and secular and Islamist leaders’ commitment to democratic transition process will pave the way for the formation of good governance in long-term.
