It is a valuable resource for postgraduate students and academics interested in modern Egypt.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 494 pages
Publication date: 31 May 2023
Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


This comprehensive volume delves into the multifaceted aspects of contemporary Egypt, encompassing its modern history, politics, economics, legal system, environment, media, and cultural expressions. It explores Egypt's capabilities to address developmental challenges, ranging from responding to globalization and regional competition to fostering economic growth and political inclusion to accommodate a rapidly growing population.

The macrohistory of Egypt is complemented by the microhistories of specific institutions and processes that constitute separate sections in this handbook. The chapters revolve around political economy, shaped by the people and their abilities, political and legal institutions, economic organization, natural and built environments, and culture and communication. Politics has been overwhelmingly authoritarian and coercive since the military seized power in 1952, leading to the chapters addressing both the causes and consequences of unbalanced civil-military relations, military rule, and persisting authoritarianism in the political society.

This multidisciplinary handbook serves a dual purpose of introducing readers to Egypt's history and contemporary political economy and providing a comprehensive key resource for postgraduate students and academics interested in modern Egypt.
