This dissertation examines the actors, institutions and strategies that characterized the first provisional administrations (the governing structures in place from anti-authoritarian uprisings to first elections) in Tunisia and Libya in 2011-2012. It explores two central research questions. First, to what extent are first provisional administrations shaped by pre-existing structures, and to what extent are actors able to shape them? Second, to what extent do first provisional administrations impact the phases of political change that follow them? The results are based on interviews with Tunisians and Libyans and a wide array of secondary sources, including books, journal articles, and reports by international organizations.
