Egypt

Más información sobre el libro

The book explores Egypt's significant role in Middle Eastern politics and its relationship with the U.S., particularly regarding military and economic aid. Dr. Sherifa Zuhur argues that the government's tight control over the political landscape hinders democratization efforts, as it prioritizes antiterrorism measures. These measures have not effectively curbed militant violence, which has resurfaced since a 1999 truce. Additionally, the extension of the state of emergency and recent constitutional amendments further consolidate governmental power, raising concerns about the future of democracy in Egypt.
