“…Cavatorta and Merone 2013) At the same time, the regime was successful in establishing a discourse of successful democratization, both domestically and internationally, overall conforming to 'Western' expectations of modernity (Powel 2009a). Tunisian authorities regularly highlighted their exceptional achievements in promoting socio-economic and women's rights (Grami 2008;Mahjoub 2004) in comparison to most other countries in the Middle East and North Africa. Not least in bilateral relations with the EU, they denied the need for more (democratic) change on this basis and refused any such suggestions from external actors as an inappropriate interference in domestic affairs.…”

This ground-breaking monograph series showcases cutting-edge research on the transformation of governance in countries with weak state institutions. Combining theoretically informed and empirically grounded scholarship, it challenges the conventional governance discourse which is biased towards modern developed nation-states. Instead, the series focuses on governance in Africa, Asia, and Latin America including transnational and transregional dimensions.Located at the intersection of global governance and international relations, on the one hand, and comparative politics, area studies, international law, history, and development studies, on the other, this innovative series helps to challenge fundamental assumptions about governance in the social sciences.

“…It took the countries of the region decades of individual and collective militancy at the political, civil society, and academic levels to achieve the present-day reforms. It is only in the twenty-first century that some breakthroughs were made (Grami 2008;Sadiqi 2008;Bernard-Maugiron and Dupret 2012;Kelly 2010).…”

“…Known as advocates of democracy and human rights, the European Commission scholars have projected a promising plan accentuating the importance of gender equality (GE) in research and innovation (R&I) at the core of the European Research Area (ERA). This incentive prompted European research centers to identify analytical tools to investigate the impediments hindering gender balance in Europe, as well as in countries engaged with European Union (EU) projects, namely the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) 3 . Of equal importance, the European Commission pursued the calls for delivery of gender equality policies to eliminate sexual discrimination and further enhance women's empowerment opportunities, especially in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, especially in engineering.…”

Although job opportunities, recruitment criteria, health insurance and social welfare are equally available regardless of sex, academic promotion at higher education institutions (HEIs) has so far been a challenging issue for women more than men. Even though there are not legislative policies or political strategies proscribing gender discrimination, the under-representation of women in high profile positions is thought-provoking as it was found by this study on collecting segregating data at the Faculty of Arts and Human Sciences of Sousse (FAHSS) and to a lesser degree at the National Engineering School of Sousse (ENISO). Given insufficient research in the area under investigation, and despite the shortage of data needed for examination, this study makes use of and analyses the available data collected from Sousse University. Built upon the findings, this paper sets forth to examine impediments as challenges to progress which are encountered by women. Despite the belief that gender parity has been acquired, it is still a challenge to progress to endorse the culture of gender equality at higher education institutions. The study entails the activities of the gender equality committee created at Sousse University in 2018 with the support of the Mediterranean Network of Engineering Schools (RMEI) and under the framework of the EU TARGET project entitled ‘Taking a reflexive approach to gender equality at Institutional transformation’.
