Book Synopsis Economic Liberalization Policies and (Non-Islamic) Market Coalition in Egypt by : Evrim Gormus
Download or read book Economic Liberalization Policies and (Non-Islamic) Market Coalition in Egypt written by Evrim Gormus and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did economic liberalization program in Egypt simply reinforce the pre-liberalization structure, leaving Islamic business groups at the margins of political and economic power? This article analyzes the implementation of Egyptian economic liberalization, with special reference to the years between 1991and 2001, and examines its impact on the formation of a non-Islamic market coalition in Egypt. The central assumption is that the way the Egyptian state implemented economic opening -- characterized by political corruption and lack of transparency -- worked against the integration of small and medium size Islamic business groups with the market in the peripheral quarters. In the absence of the integration between Islamic business groups and the market reforms, economic liberalization policies sharpened class struggles which had empowered ideological rigidity within political Islam in Egypt. The deterioration of economic conditions, coupled with the state's decreasing role in providing social services, provided an important avenue for the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) to become a legitimate rival to the regime. Motivated primarily by the sheer instinct of keeping its hegemonic role as opposition, the MB leadership maintained an ambiguous position regarding market policies in the group's official electoral and party programs. Even though some members of the MB (especially in the leadership cadre) had strong business interests during the process of economic liberalization, the MB articulated its public discourse according to its main constituencies who were not benefiting from market transformation.
Download or read book Cleft Capitalism written by Amr Adly and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Egypt has undergone significant economic liberalization under the auspices of the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, USAID, and the European Commission. Yet after more than four decades of economic reform, the Egyptian economy still fails to meet popular expectations for inclusive growth, better standards of living, and high-quality employment. While many analysts point to cronyism and corruption, Amr Adly finds the root causes of this stagnation in the underlying social and political conditions of economic development. Cleft Capitalism offers a new explanation for why market-based development can fail to meet expectations: small businesses in Egypt are not growing into medium and larger businesses. The practical outcome of this missing middle syndrome is the continuous erosion of the economic and social privileges once enjoyed by the middle classes and unionized labor, without creating enough winners from market making. This in turn set the stage for alienation, discontent, and, finally, revolt. With this book, Adly uncovers both an institutional explanation for Egypt's failed market making, and sheds light on the key factors of arrested economic development across the Global South.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Economic reform by Third World governments is usually portrayed as the product of outside pressure, especially from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank. This welcome collection provides an important counter-perspective by putting domestic politics at center stage. Miles Kahler demonstrates that international institutions only rarely play an important role."--Orbis' "Joan Nelson and her collaborators have performed a valuable service for those concerned about the politics of reform by bringing together a series of informed and insightful essays that address clearly and concisely the difficult political dilemmas of economic adjustment."--Merilee S. Grindle,Economic Development and Cultural Change

Book Synopsis Elections and Distributive Politics in Mubarak’s Egypt by : Lisa Blaydes
Download or read book Elections and Distributive Politics in Mubarak’s Egypt written by Lisa Blaydes and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-22 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its authoritarian political structure, Egypt's government has held competitive, multi-party parliamentary elections for more than 30 years. This book argues that, rather than undermining the durability of the Mubarak regime, competitive parliamentary elections ease important forms of distributional conflict, particularly conflict over access to spoils. In a comprehensive examination of the distributive consequences of authoritarian elections in Egypt, Lisa Blaydes examines the triadic relationship between Egypt's ruling regime, the rent-seeking elite that supports the regime, and the ordinary citizens who participate in these elections. She describes why parliamentary candidates finance campaigns to win seats in a legislature that lacks policymaking power, as well as why citizens engage in the costly act of voting in such a context.

Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.
Book Synopsis The Future of Political Islam by : G. Fuller
Download or read book The Future of Political Islam written by G. Fuller and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-05-12 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: September 11; vitriolic rhetoric against the United States by prominent Muslims; the war against terrorism shifts from Afghanistan to the Philippines and Indonesia. It is easy to believe Islam and Muslims are enemies of the West; it is also wrong. This sweeping survey of trends in the Muslim world contends that the issue is not whether Islam plays a central role in politics, but what Muslims want. To focus on radicalism and extremism blinds us from another trend: liberal political Islam. Proponents of liberal political Islam emphasize human rights and democracy, tolerance and cooperation. They face an uphill struggle as authoritarian regimes oppress opposition and use Islam to justify their undemocratic rule. As people are denied avenues to participate and criticize, as secular ideologies have failed, religion has come to play a central role in politics. The outcome of the struggle between extremists and liberals will determine the future of political Islam.

"Essential reading on a subject of global importance, Egypt after Mubarak draws upon in-depth interviews with Egyptian judges, lawyers, Islamic activists, politicians, and businesspeople.

Book Synopsis Citizenship and the State in the Middle East by : Nils A. Butenschon
Download or read book Citizenship and the State in the Middle East written by Nils A. Butenschon and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2000-05-01 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a response to processes of globalization, regional integration and ethnic conflicts, the study of citizenship has regained new interest among social scientists and legal experts. This approach focuses on the relationship between the state and the people-as individuals and collectivities, citizens and non-citizens-both those living within or outside its borders. Citizenship defines the terms of rights and obligations in a society, regulates political participation and access to public goods and properties. Together, with its companion volume, Gender and Citizenship in the Middle East, this book represents the first systematic critical attempt to interpret the complex nature of Middle East politics from a citizenship perspective. In addition, the book provides both theoretical contributions and case studies, and includes a significant section on Israel and Palestine.
Book Synopsis Regional Orders at Century's Dawn by : Etel Solingen
Download or read book Regional Orders at Century's Dawn written by Etel Solingen and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Etel Solingen provides a comprehensive explanation of foreign policy based on how states throughout the world have confronted the rapid emergence of a global economy and international institutions. A major advance in international relations theory, Regional Orders at Century's Dawn skillfully uses a key issue--internationalization--to clarify other recent debates, from the notion of a democratic peace to the relevance of security dilemmas, nationalism, and the impact of international institutions. The author discusses in rich detail the Middle East, Latin America's Southern Cone, and the Korean peninsula, and builds on examples drawn from almost every other region of the world. As Solingen demonstrates, economic liberalization--with its dramatic political and economic consequences--invariably attracts supporters and detractors, who join in coalitions to advance their agendas. Each coalition's agenda, or "grand strategy," has consequences at all levels: domestic, regional, and international. At home, coalitions struggle to define the internal allocation and management of resources, and to undermine their rivals. Throughout their regional neighborhoods, coalitions opposing internationalization often compete for dominance, sometimes militarily. Coalitions favoring internationalization, instead, often cooperate. At the global level, each coalition finds support for its "grand strategies" from different international institutions and from competing global economic trends. Solingen's concept of "grand strategy" proposes more than a theory of foreign policy and explains the role of nationalism and ethno-religious revivalism in the politics of liberalization.

This book was released on 2014-07-09 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries price subsidies are common, especially on food and fuels. However, these are neither well targeted nor cost effective as a social protection tool, often benefiting mainly the better off instead of the poor and vulnerable. This paper explores the challenges of replacing generalized price subsidies with more equitable social safety net instruments, including the short-term inflationary effects, and describes the features of successful subsidy reforms.
