Résumé En

By giving a comfortable advance to the Islamist party of Ennahdha (around 37% of the votes), thefirst free elections of independent Tunisia on 23 October 2011 have taken by surprise mostobservers. In this paper, we identify the social and socio-territorial bases of major Tunisianparties through combining quantitative analyses at different scales and field surveys in specificlocalities. Although most interpretations have focused on the cultural modernist vs.conservative cleavage, hence obscuring the class cleavage, our analyses highlight verydifferentiated socio-territorial electoral bases for the main parties and indicate deep socialdifferences in voting behaviour, especially within cities. In addition, the consensus expressedby most parties about the need to reduce regional inequalities hides very dissimilar votingbehaviour in peripheral and core areas. While allowing for a better interpretation of electoralresults, our analyses also provide tools to understand possible evolutions within the Tunisianpolitical space.etails, including instructions for authors and subscription information:
