Do newly emergent political elites perceive reforms in this area as a priority? What are the optimum designs, sequencing and models of decentralization for Arab countries in political transition? Drawing on findings from field research as well as recent analyses, this study argues that uprisings have created a stronger momentum for revisiting the question of decentralization reforms in Libya and Yemen, compared to the cases of Egypt and Tunisia. In the latter cases, there is evidence that, while new advocacy movements focused on reforming local government structures have emerged, they have thus far remained elite-led. Grassroots activism at local community levels has served to empower new actors, who, in some cases, were successful at extracting concessions from local authorities. These efforts, however, focus predominantly on improving access to public services within the existing context of centralized state structures, and seem to have often failed to gain the trust of local community members as potential partners in local governance. In addition, looking closely at the experience of Egypt, the region’s most populous country, reveals several emerging trends. Indeed, focus group discussions in three working class neighbourhoods within Greater Cairo reveal sceptical views on decentralization of powers, responsibilities and resources among both male and female participants. In contrast, youths were more likely to demand deeper reforms across all three dimensions of decentralization (administrative, fiscal and political). This finding is also confirmed by recent surveys. Interviews among political elites from various ideological backgrounds reveal wide divergence of opinions on which particular dimension(s) of decentralization reforms need to be implemented. In addition, there is no consensus over prioritizing decentralization reforms during early phases of political transformation. While recognizing the need for local reform, many political leaders seem to be concerned about undermining state capacity, as well as potential capture by traditional elites due to the weakness of newly minted political parties and limited capacity of local level institutions. On these bases, the study argues that there seems to be a critical gap between youths’ expectations in Egypt, on the one hand, and the political elite’s envisioned plans, on the other. The study concludes by drawing lessons from France’s contract-based record of decentralization, as a case of a centralized state that has successfully devolved powers to subnational government tiers, while maintaining monitoring and supervisory roles for central government representatives. In addition, policy recommendations are proposed for countries that have emerged from the Arab uprisings with relatively strong centralized state structures and cohesive national identities. vii Introduction Uprisings that lead to the downfall of long-ruling regimes typically constitute “critical junctures” in the long-term institutional development of governance systems. 1 Such historically rare moments provide unique windows of opportunity for policymakers to exercise agency in crafting new institutions while being less bound by structural constraints. 2 Aside from providing space for institutional restructuring at the macro level, recent popular mobilizations from below in the Arab region have given rise to new forms of locally rooted activism. Following the initial weakening of state institutions and disappearance of police forces, neighbourhood

    The Data on Periodical (Weekly) Market at the End of the 19th Century in Egypt -The cases of Qaliubiya, Sharqiya and Daqahliya Provinces Hiroshi Kato Some geographers and historians are concerned with periodical market, which they define as the place of economic transactions peculiar to so called "peasant society. In Egypt, which is, as well known, a typical hydraulic society, periodical market, that is weekly market (α1- siiq al-usbu i) in the Islamic world, still has the important economic functions in rural areas at the present, as well as it had in the past. The author is now collecting the data on Egyptian weekly market from the 19th century to the present, based upon source materials on one hand, and field research on the other. The aim of this paper is to present some statistical and ge0- graphical data on Egyptian weekly market at the end of the 19th century to the researchers who are interested in periodical market in agrarian society, before the intensive study, which the author is planning in the future, on the economic functions of Egyptian weekly market and their transformation in the process of the modernization of Egyptian society. The source material from which the data are collected is A. Boinet, Geographie Econ0- mique et Administrative de I'Egypte, Basse-Egypte I, Le Caire, 1902. It is the results of the population census in 1897 and the agrarian census maybe took in 1898 and 1899, being annexed to the population census in the previous year.

  • Assessment the Seasonal Variability and Enrichment of Toxic Trace Metals Pollution in Sediments of Damietta Branch, Nile River, Egypt
    water Article Assessment the Seasonal Variability and Enrichment of Toxic Trace Metals Pollution in Sediments of Damietta Branch, Nile River, Egypt Mostafa Redwan 1,* and Engy Elhaddad 2 1 Geology Department, Faculty of Science, Sohag University, Sohag 82524, Egypt 2 National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries, Cairo 11562, Egypt; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +20-934605602-2918 Received: 26 October 2020; Accepted: 27 November 2020; Published: 30 November 2020 Abstract: This work appraises the extent of toxic trace metals and seasonal pollution degree in Damietta branch sediments of the River Nile of Egypt. The toxic trace metals Fe, Mn, Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn were analysed in sediments from six sites during the summer and winter seasons. The metal concentrations and organic matter were determined using inductively-coupled-plasma mass spectrometry and loss-on-ignition, respectively. Multivariate statistical methods were used in order to allocate the possible metals sources and their relationships in sediments. The seasonal mean sequence of toxic trace metals was: Fe > Mn > Zn > Pb > Cu > Ni > Co > Cd. The mean Cd, Pb, and Zn values exceeded the sediment quality guidelines and average shale and they represent severe potential toxicity for aquatic organisms. Cu and Co were enriched during winter. The geo-accumulation index stipulated that metal pollution degree in the sequence of: Pb > Zn > Cd > Co > Cu > Mn > Ni > Fe. The highest metal pollution index reported in winter in sites S4/S5 and during summer in sites S4–S6. Different agricultural, wastewater discharge, fisheries, and industrial activities, as well as the effect of dilution/concentration during summer/winter seasons, are the main factors that contributed to metal accumulations in Damietta branch sediments.
