  • Political Parties' Guide to Building Coalitions
    Political Parties’ Guide to Building Coalitions August 2014 Rania Zada Nick Sigler Nick Harvey MP +44 (0) 207 549 0350 gpgovernance.net [email protected] © Global Partners Governance, 2014 Building Coalitions in Egypt: Structure, management and challenges By Rania Zada, Senior Fellow, Arab Forum for Alternatives Since 2011, Egypt has witnessed several elections with the participation of new political parties established following the January 25 revolution. Those new parties, as well as old ones in the process of restructuring, were forced to run for election by forming coalitions and alliances. The concept of electoral alliances re-emerged after the January 25 revolution with the 2011 parliamentary elections. This resulted in the formation of four main alliances: the Democratic Alliance led by the Freedom and Justice Party and joined by Al-Karamah Party; the Islamic Alliance led by Al-Noor Party and other parties that were based on Scientific Salafism or Jihadist Salafism; the Egyptian Bloc Alliance led by the Egyptian Democratic Party and the Free Egyptians Party, and the Revolution Continues Alliance that included the Popular Alliance, Egypt Freedom Party and the Egyptian Current1. Though the context is now different in 2014, there are some similarities between the alliances that were formed in 2011 and alliances that are currently being established. In 2011, the Democratic Alliance mainly aimed at confronting remnants of Mubarak’s regime, as the Muslim Brotherhood was considered a faction that actively took part in the January 25 revolution. However, current alliances fear the return of Islamists out of concern over the civil nature of the Egyptian state, which means that in both cases the main idea behind forming alliances is to exclude a certain group or faction and to defeat it in the elections.

Theory and evidence from Egypt Tarek Masoud∗ Abstract Though Egyptian voters clearly evince a desire for Islamic law (however defined), public opinion research shows that they also want robust welfare states and significant redistri- bution. Though the application of Islamic law is the special province of Islamist parties, it is left-leaning, labor-based parties who are the primary champions of the economic poli- cies that Egyptians seem to desire. Why, then, do Egyptian voters select the former over the latter? This article argues that the answer lies not in the political unsophistication of voters, the subordination of economic interests to spiritual ones, or the bureaucratic and organizational shortcomings of leftist parties, but in the ways in which the social landscape shapes the opportunities of parties in newly democratized systems to reach potential vot- ers.

    European Community No. 26/1984 July 10, 1984 Contact: Ella Krucoff (202) 862-9540 THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: 1984 ELECTION RESULTS :The newly elected European Parliament - the second to be chosen directly by European voters -- began its five-year term last month with an inaugural session in Strasbourg~ France. The Parliament elected Pierre Pflimlin, a French Christian Democrat, as its new president. Pflimlin, a parliamentarian since 1979, is a former Prime Minister of France and ex-mayor of Strasbourg. Be succeeds Pieter Dankert, a Dutch Socialist, who came in second in the presidential vote this time around. The new assembly quickly exercised one of its major powers -- final say over the European Community budget -- by blocking payment of a L983 budget rebate to the United Kingdom. The rebate had been approved by Community leaders as part of an overall plan to resolve the E.C.'s financial problems. The Parliament froze the rebate after the U.K. opposed a plan for covering a 1984 budget shortfall during a July Council of Ministers meeting. The issue will be discussed again in September by E.C. institutions. Garret FitzGerald, Prime Minister of Ireland, outlined for the Parliament the goals of Ireland's six-month presidency of the E.C. Council. Be urged the representatives to continue working for a more unified Europe in which "free movement of people and goods" is a reality, and he called for more "intensified common action" to fight unemployment. Be said European politicians must work to bolster the public's faith in the E.C., noting that budget problems and inter-governmental "wrangles" have overshadolted the Community's benefits.

  • The Muslim Brotherhood Fol- Lowing the “25 Janu- Ary Revolution”
    Maria Dolores Algora Weber CEU San Pablo University THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD FOL- LOWING THE “25 JANU- ARY REVOLUTION”: FROM THE IDEALS OF THE PAST TO THE POLITICAL CHAL- LENGES OF THE PRESENT In the framework of the Arab Spring, as the wave of social mobilisation of 2011 has come to be known, the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt marked the beginning of a process which has deeply transformed the re- ality of many countries in the Arab World. In Egypt, the events that took place in Tahrir Square not only put an end to President Mubarak's dic- tatorship, but also paved the way for new political actors, among which the Muslim Brotherhood has played a key role. During the subsequent transition, the Brotherhood gained control of the National Assembly and positioned their leader, Mohamed Mursi, as the new President. The present debate is focused on the true democratic vocation of this move- ment and its relationship with the other social forces inside Egypt and beyond. This article intends to address these issues. To that end, it begins with an explanation as to the ideological and political evolution of the Muslim Brotherhood and its internal changes brought about by the end of the previous regime, closing with an analysis of its transnational influ- ence and the possible international aftermaths. Islam, Islamism, Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt, Arab Spring 181 INTRODUCTION n 2011, a wave of social mobilisations took place in various Arab countries and which came to be known as the “Arab Spring”. This name is undoubtedly an at- tempt to draw a comparison between the historic process that unfolded in Europe Iin the mid-nineteenth century and the events that have taken place in the Arab World.

  • Monopolizing Power Egypt’S Political Parties Law
    January 2007 Number 1 Monopolizing Power Egypt’s Political Parties Law I. Introduction and Recommendations...................................................................... 1 II. The Political Parties Law ......................................................................................3 III. The 2005 Amendments to the Law...................................................................... 6 IV. The Political Parties Law in Practice ................................................................... 8 V. International Law and Egypt’s Parties Law ......................................................... 14 I. Introduction and Recommendations On January 6, 2007, Abu al-`Ila Madi, a 48-year-old activist from Cairo, will plead his case before Egypt’s Supreme Administrative Court. He has appeared in the court dozens of times over the past 10 years. His purpose is to try once again to register the Wasat (Centrist) Party and begin campaigning under its name. Registering a new political party should be a transparent and apolitical bureaucratic procedure, and in many countries it is.1 In Egypt, however, in practice it is the government, and the party of government, that determine which other parties will be recognized and which will not. The result is the routine denial of applications for registration of new political parties through the use of criteria set forth in the political parties law2 that are open to subjective and arbitrary application. Madi’s struggle to gain legal recognition for the Wasat Party illustrates the deleterious effects of the law on prospective political parties, and the manner in which the government and the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP) exercise unfettered discretion to deny such parties their lawful participation in the country’s political life. If President Hosni Mubarak is to make good on his promise to “enshrine the liberties of the citizen and reinvigorate political parties,”3 the Egyptian government must reform the parties law and cease obstructing the establishment and effective participation of political parties.
