Egypt under Mubarak

by Charles Tripp

Egypt under Mubarak Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Egypt is one of the major powers in the Middle East. The vigor of its cultural life and the extent of its influence make it a force which cannot be ignored in the Arab world. The contributors to this informative book examine the causes and consequences of the many crises within Egypt's political, sociological, economic and moral legacy. They critically assess strategies devised by Mubarak's government to cope with that legacy, and offer insight into the capacity of the present administration to employ Egypt's considerable resources in the shaping of a distinct and effective international role.

Synopsis:

Egypt is one of the major powers in the Middle East. The vigour of its cultural life and the extent of its influence make it a force which cannot be ignored in the Arab world. Yet, despite the comparative confidence with which its rulers handle power, the country has a politically contradictory past with which to come to terms, as well as its role in a region of shifting political identity and allegiance.

This book examines the causes and consequences of the many crises within the Egyptian political, sociological, economic and moral legacy and the strategies which Mubarak's government has devised to cope with that legacy. The book's concern is for the capacity of the present administration to avoid expediency and the generation of further crisis and rather to employ Egypt's considerable resources in the shaping of a distinct and effective role for the country.
