  abstract = {{R}esearch on agricultural development models shows that local applications of global models are adapted both to the globalisation of agricultural markets and to climate change. {T}he circulation of such models is also linked to local political and historical contexts. {H}owever, few studies have focused on abrupt changes in economic policies, such as those following the {A}rab {S}pring. {W}e propose to study the evolution of olive-growing development policies in post-revolutionary {T}unisia. {I}n order to mitigate both market- and climate-induced vulnerabilities and to make the sector more competitive with major olive producers, {F}ood and {A}griculture {O}rganization ({FAO}) guidelines recommend intensification of {T}unisian olive farming through irrigation. {O}ur research makes two main claims: (1) the change in the production model towards irrigation aims to respond to globalisation, climate change and national policies. (2) {S}ome exporters are involved at several levels of the value chain. {T}his research conducted by geographers and economists analyses the mutations of the olive sector towards irrigation, using a double theoretical framework on the circulation of agricultural development models, with a political-ecology approach. {T}his paper contributes to a growing body of research on the relationship between commodity production networks and water studies.},
