  • EU-Egypt Task Force - Co-Chairs Conclusions
    EU-Egypt Task Force - Co-chairs conclusions The first meeting of the joint Egypt-European Union (EU) Task Force took place on 14th November in Cairo as agreed on the occasion of the visit of President Mohamed Morsi to Brussels on 13th September. The Task Force was launched by Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr and Catherine Ashton, EU High Representative/Vice president and was inaugurated by Egypt's Prime Minister H.E. Dr. Hisham Kandil. Ministers of the Egyptian Government, European Foreign Ministers, EU Commissioners, Members of Parliament, President of the EIB, International Financial Institutions’ senior officials, business leaders, the Secretary General of the UfM, as well as representatives from civil society, participated in the Task Force. The Task Force was the occasion for the EU to send a strong political message in support of the democratic reform process Egypt has embarked on following the 25th January 2011 revolution, in which the Egyptian people demanded their legitimate political and socio-economic rights, particularly freedom, social justice, dignity and prosperity. A new era in EU-Egypt relations for a closer partnership A new era in the relationship between the EU and the new Egypt has started. As equal partners, with common aspirations and values, we are willing to work as closest allies. This mutually-beneficial partnership is based on solid co- ownership, mutual respect and complementarity of interests. It aims at ensuring sustainable inclusive economic growth and socio-economic development, through creating jobs, promoting investment, trade, tourism, technology transfer, know-how and innovation. In support of the ongoing democratic transformation, Egypt and the EU will work together to overcome the socio-economic challenges, thus setting an example for the region and beyond.

Assailants on a motorcycle shot Major General Mohamed al-Saeed, director of the Interior Ministry’s technical office, said Ahmed Dawoud, an officer at the Giza investigations unit. A day earlier, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces said that the public wants al-Seesi, who hasn’t announced his plans, to run for election and it’s up to him to “shoulder the responsibility.” The assassination spotlights the security woes that have fueled calls for al-Seesi, who ousted Islamist President Mohamed Mursi in July, to run for the top job. His critics accuse him of leading the bloodiest crackdown against Islamists in decades since Mursi’s ouster, and say the country is turning back into a police state. Mursi went on trial today in the second of four criminal cases against him. “Al-Seesi has a strong support base pushing for him to run,” said Islam Al Tayeb, a research analyst at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London . “And if he runs, he will highly likely win.” ECONOMIC OVERVIEW Egypt Central Bank receives additional $2 billion from Saudi Arabia Source: Egypt Economist, January 28, 2014 Egypt's Central Bank (CBE) received $2 billion from Saudi Arabia, the Egyptian daily Al-Mal reported on Wednesday.

  • Bachelor Thesis
    LEIDEN UNIVERSITY Fusing Islamism and Neoliberalism in Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco: A Study into the Economic Policies of Three Islamist Parties Abstract: This thesis analyses the economic policies of three Islamist parties that have come to power in the aftermath of what has come to be known as the Arab Spring. Campaigning on a platform emphasizing social justice and wealth redistribution, these parties have likewise embraced neoliberal economic policies. This thesis investigates how the Egyptian Freedom and Justice Party, the Tunisian Ennahda party and the Moroccan Party for Justice and Development have justified these two apparent contradictions and whether these parties perceive the latter as being antithetical to the former. On the basis of a wide range of primary and secondary sources, I conclude that the main channels through which these parties believe social justice and wealth redistribution are to be achieved in a neoliberal economy is through ‘trickle-down economics’ and wealth redistribution through zakat and other forms of individual charity. Evaluating the respective parties’ periods in power, one would have to conclude that as far as securing social justice is concerned, the reality is quite different from the campaign rhetoric. This has to some large extent been caused by demands raised by international financial institutions in exchange for loans to these countries, but likewise occurred prior to engaging in negotiations and eventually signing agreements with these institutions. Especially in the realm of labor laws, minimum wage laws, stimulating small and medium size enterprises and reducing subsidies on much needed consumer goods, the parties have not lived up to their earlier promises.
