  • U.S.-Egyptian Relations Since the 2011 Revolution: the Limits of Leverage
    U.S.-Egyptian Relations Since the 2011 Revolution: The Limits of Leverage An Honors Thesis Submitted to the Department of Politics in partial fulfillment of the Honors Program by Benjamin Wolkov April 29, 2015 Table of Contents Introduction 1 Chapter 1. A History of U.S.-Egyptian Relations 7 Chapter 2. Foreign Policy Framework 33 Chapter 3. The Fall of Mubarak, the Rise of the SCAF 53 Chapter 4. Morsi’s Presidency 82 Chapter 5. Relations Under Sisi 115 Conclusion 145 Bibliography 160 1 Introduction Over the past several decades, the United States and Egypt have had a special relationship built around military cooperation and the pursuit of mutual interests in the Middle East. At one point, Egypt was the primary nemesis of American interests in the region as it sought to spread its own form of Arab socialism in cooperation with the Soviet Union. However, since President Anwar Sadat’s decision to sign the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty in 1979, Egypt has proven a bulwark of the United States interests it once opposed. Specifically, those interests are peace with Israel, the continued flow of oil, American control of the region, and stability within the Middle East. In addition to ensuring these interests, the special friendship has given the United States privileges with Egypt, including the use of Egyptian airspace, expedited transit through the Suez Canal for American warships, and the basing of an extraordinary rendition program on Egyptian territory. Noticeably, the United States has developed its relationship with Egypt on military grounds, concentrating on national security rather than issues such as the economy or human rights.

  • Two Egyptian Views of U.S. Policy | the Washington Institute
    MENU Policy Analysis / Articles & Op-Eds Two Egyptian Views of U.S. Policy Aug 30, 2012 Articles & Testimony Fikra Forum contributors offer unique perspectives and analysis from Egypt regarding the changes in U.S. policy toward the new Egyptian government. America’s Reversed Policy toward the Muslim Brotherhood By Amin Makram Ebeid merica used to be acknowledged as a beacon of democracy, a defender of values, a bridge-builder between A people and nations, and an example for the entire world to emulate. In the Middle East, this image of America is unfortunately quickly losing its place in the hearts of democracy lovers and peace makers of this tortured region. In early 2011, political observers noted that the Obama administration had begun to reverse decades of mistrust and hostility towards the Muslim Brotherhood (MB). This reversal was carried out with full knowledge that Brethren policy calls for the imposition of the Islamic Shari’a on Christians and liberal Muslims who reject this policy as tyrannical. Their organizational creed says it all: “Allah is our objective, the Qur’an is our law, the Prophet is our leader, Jihad is our way and death for the sake of Allah is the highest aspiration”. Even the MB emblem appears to encourage military Jihad, consisting of two swords and the Qur’an. This would probably be acceptable in a homogeneous Muslim Society like the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), but it is certainly not the case in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Jordan. It would be tempting to ask the leaders of the current U.S.

WILSON_PROOFS 12/17/2018 12:20 PM THE TURTLE BAY PIVOT: HOW THE UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL IS RESHAPING NAVAL PURSUIT OF NUCLEAR PROLIFERATORS, ROGUE STATES, AND PIRATES Brian Wilson* ABSTRACT Multinational action at the United Nations to combat illicit activity represents the most consequential sanctions period involving the maritime environment since the Athenian Empire’s Megarian Decree. From its inception, the Security Council has authorized measures that have led to naval approaches or boardings of more than 50,000 ships, the destruction of 3,500 vessels, and the maritime rescue of 40,000 people in the pursuit of transnational security threats. While the Security Council has addressed maritime challenges over the past seven decades, a diplomatic renaissance began in 2008 with decisions impacting naval engagements unfolding with unparalleled frequency: From 1946 to 2007, resolutions were adopted about once every 1.7 years, and since, are now approved every 2.5 months.

At a regular State Department briefing, spokeswoman Jen Psaki said: "We understand there were air strikes undertaken in recent days by the UAE and Egypt" in Libya. At the Pentagon, spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby also said the two countries were believed to be involved in the strikes but declined to give details. However, late on Tuesday the State Department issued a statement saying the comment on Libya was "intended to refer to countries reportedly involved, not speak for them."

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Guardians of the state or the regime? Examining the behaviour of the Egyptian military during the 2011 uprising. A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts in Politics Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand Nadia Yousef 2012 Abstract The Arab military has long been a key player within the institutions of the state, particularly in Egypt. It was no surprise then that when the Arab Spring took hold in Cairo in January 2011 and President Hosni Mubarak was overthrown, that the military stepped in to fill the power vacuum. This thesis investigates the role of the Egyptian military in the 2011 uprising. To understand how this situation eventuated, it provides an in depth analysis of the role of the military in the Egyptian state since 1952 when Egypt first became a republic. It explores the deep roots that the military has set throughout the institutions of the state under the guidance of three authoritarian Presidents. By examining the modern institutional history of the Egyptian military, it provides tools for understanding why it is now behaving in the way it is. Primarily this is based on its attempts to either remain in power, or entrench itself further in Egyptian politics so that it is able to maintain its position of privilege once a democratically elected President comes to power.

  • Why Did the 2011 Egyptian Revolution Fail?
    Why did the 2011 Egyptian Revolution Fail? Alexey Khlebnikov The Egyptian revolution of January 2011 failed and did not change the fundamental political structure of the country, which ended up under military rule. Leading scholarship will be examined and reasons for the revolution’s failure will be presented in historical, regional and domes- tic contexts. This work argues that several essential conditions for suc- cessful revolution and democracy promotion did not occur. These in- clude a change of the country’s elite, reformation of state institutions, and an inability of the revolutionary masses to establish lasting broad coalition. Unique Egyptian peculiarities contributed to the failure of the revolution and transition to democracy. These included a strong military, an inability of the revolution’s initiators to develop their suc- cess and lasting support from international networks of the existing elites. The Egyptian experience will be examined within a larger con- text of regional social and political changes. Keywords: Egypt, Arab Uprising, revolutions, regime change, democracy promotion, failed revolution, army, military Introduction December 2010 marked a new stage in the history of the Middle East. When the Arab uprising began in Tunisia, spread over the region in a matter of months and the socio-political architecture of the region started to change—affecting international relations. By the end of 2013, almost every Arab country had been touched by the wave of uprisings, three Arab leaders (Tunisia’s Ben Ali, Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak and Lib- ya’s Muammar Qaddafi) had been deposed while Libya, Syria and Yem- Alexey Khlebnikov, ‘Why did the 2011 Egyptian Revolution Fail?’ Central Euro- pean Journal of International and Security Studies 10, no.
