This paper examines the strategies used by the Egyptian counter-revolutionary regime to maintain control over the armed forces and analyzes their impact on power dynamics and decision-making. The president employs a three-track strategy, focusing on preventing military coups, avoiding popular uprisings, and obstructing external support for regime c...
This chapter focuses on the strategies, core interests, alignments, and impact of key political actors in the 2011 revolutionary processes, and post-revolutionary transitions. Regimes and civil opponents dominated the revolutionary phase, while traditional political actors dominated the transition. Most interesting is the role, and inordinate influ...
This chapter examines two main questions: What were the strategies of key political actors during the transitional periods of the 2011 Arab uprisings? How did these strategies affect the fate of democratic transitions? Related questions will also be considered, such as the identity, core interests of the main political actors, and whether they were...
This book’s central hypothesis is this: the “crisis of democracy” in the Arab region is primarily a crisis of mainstream scholarship. As the masses brave bullets demanding freedom, ivory tower Byzantines are busy debating the impossibility of Arab democracy. The focus on theorization of democratic transition is thus seen as a matter of life and dea...
هل يمكن تحقيق هذه الأهداف الثلاثة معًا: الحفاظ على وحدة الدولة وأمن شعبها وسلامة أراضيها، وبناء نظام ديمقراطي يقوم على حكم القانون والمواطنة والفصل بين السلطات، وتحديث المؤسسة العسكرية وتعزيز ميزانياتها وقدراتها؟
يُجيب الكتاب: نعم؛ إذا توافرت شروط التغيير ومتطلّباته، وامتلك الفاعلون إرادة التغيير ورؤية واضحة للوصول إليه. ويقدّم الكتاب عرضًا تحليلي...
يتناول عبد الفتاح ماضي في كتابه عثرات في الميدان: كيف أخفقت ثورة يناير في مصر؟ الصادر عن المركز العربي للأبحاث ودراسة السياسات، المسار المتعثّر لثورة 25 يناير 2011 في مصر؛ باعتبارها جزءًا من نضالٍ ممتد في التاريخ الحديث للشعب المصري من أجل التغيير، وحدثًا أداره فاعلون داخليون وخارجيون بقناعات ومصالح مختلفة، وفي سياقات إقليمية ودولية غير مواتية.

This study adopts a comparative approach to investigate the impact of the reciprocal fears of internal and external parties on the stances of key actors during the 2011 transitions. Apparently, the uncertainty that accompanies any democratic elections has not been a local factor in the Arab cases because regional and international forces have an in...
يهتم هذا الفصل بالإجابة عن سؤال رئيس: متى يضطر العسكريون إلى الخروج من السلطة وتحت أي ظرف؟ وأوضح أن هناك كثيرًا من الدروس التي أظهرتها الحالات المختلفة، وأهمها أن العسكريين لا يخرجون من السلطة من تلقاء أنفسهم وإنما يُدفعون إلى ذلك دفعًا، إما لاقتناعهم بأن الحكم المدني سيضمن مصالحهم، أو خوفًا من تعرّضهم للمحاسبة والعقاب. ولا يدفعهم إلى الخروج في معظ...

This chapter investigates the role of the Egyptian student movement as a purveyor of progressive political change, from the early twentieth century to the present. Given the emphasis by liberal figures from Taha Husayn to Mohammad Abol Ghar most recently on the centrality of the role of education to disseminate liberal values – and by extension on...
Western reactions to terrorist acts always follow the same pattern. Westerners blame Arabs and Muslims, assuming that current realities are the result of a zero-sum game between modernity and Islam. Subsequently, Western governments intensify internal security measures and continue the external “war on terror.” Undoubtedly, all violence against inn...
تحاول هذه الدراسة الإجابة عن سؤال محوري هو: لماذا تغير مسار ثورة 25 يناير 2011 في مصر من النضال من أجل الكرامة والحرية والعدالة إلى هجوم مضاد على كل من ينادي بهذه الأهداف بحجة الأمن والاستقرار ومكافحة الإرهاب؟ وتهتم الدراسة تحديدًا بالتغيرات التي طرأت على ثورة يناير فحولتها من "ثورة ديمقراطية"، تنشد الديمقراطية وتغيير نمط ممارسة السلطة وحماية الحري...
ثمة علاقة وثيقة الصلة بين سياسات القوي الكبري في النظام العالمي، وتوفير بيئة حاضنة لنشر الكراهية في المنطقة العربية، إذ انطوت هذه السياسات علي ازدواجية واضحة في التعامل مع قضايا المنطقة ومحاباة دولة الاحتلال الإسرائيلي، ودعم الأنظمة الاستبدادية، وتجاهل مطالب الشعوب، الأمر الذي أدي إلي تنامي حجم الغضب العربي، وتعمق كراهيته تجاه الآخر الغربي. وفي هذا...
This paper examines how informal, discontent actors in Egypt have evolved in a globalizing world and their role in the January 25th revolution. It focuses on the effects of the deteriorating economic and social conditions in Egypt related to the former regime's policy and the role of mass media, information, and communication technologies in facili...
The purpose of this study is to answer the following question: ‘Does US foreign policy undermine peace efforts in the Occupied Palestinian Territories?’ Careful observations of US foreign policy during the Oslo Process reveal that the United States has indeed undermined peace efforts in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The American position su...
Government is as old as human beings themselves. All
human societies are governed by rulers, no matter what
their titles and characteristics may be. On the theoretical
level, government is intrinsic to human societies.
Nevertheless, at a more tangible level, nothing about government
is static. Structures and functions of governing
are constantly in...

The question addressed in this study is: ‘How accurate and meaningful are quantitative measures of the degree of democracy in Israel?’ With the increasing use of such measures in studies of democracy, an answer to this question becomes increasingly important. The Freedom House and Polity IV measures of democracy in Israel contend that there is a ve...

This paper conc...
