Who are the youth activists of Egypt and Tunisia? What are their ideas, and what types of action are they taking? As key protagonists of revolution in 2011, what capacity do they now have to sustain their political and civic engagement over the long term? This study maps the discourse and activism of youth in postrevolutionary Egypt and Tunisia. It offers insight into where the transitions are heading and provides suggestions for how stakeholders might best engage with youth actors in the region.
