KEYWORDS: Prostitution Markets, Sex Industry, Supply and Demand Theory, Interviewees’ Sample, Egypt INTRODUCTION The organized crime has increased with market liberalization under the economic globalization to play a fundamental role in the global economy. The globalization of capitalism and new liberal policies has led to the spread of prostitution markets that quite widely subject to the organized crime gangs that contradict with the norm, religion and good ethics. This is not attributed to the reason that prostitution is outlawed or comes under the prohibition circle. Whether in the countries that consider prostitution is outlawed like (Tunisia, Germany, The Netherlands) or in the countries in which prostitution houses are owned by the state (Turkey and Indonesia), or in the countries that recognize prostitution as a vital industry for the national economy (Thailand and the Philippines), the role of organizes crime gangs remains fundamental in organizing the prostitution markets since violence is the decisive factor in producing the sex industry (Patricia Green,2010). Egypt is not isolated from other world countries as it is affected by the international and regional changes that contribute to the production and trade of this phenomenon. This trade differs from a country to another, as there is a transit country to other countries, there are destination countries of this trade and there are origin countries of it. Egypt is considered as a transit and destination country of sex trade. Therefore, it is necessary to study the dichotomies, reasons and effects of this phenomenon in order to curb its exacerbation in the future through focusing on only two forms of this phenomenon, namely tourist marriage of women in line of human trade and sex exploitation and prostitution. 22 Ezzat Molouk Kenawy The Research Problem It dwells on the raising the overlooked hidden side of economic globalization and new liberal policies that transfer man into a commodity that has monetary and consuming value sold and bought at the human trade markets with the purpose of sex exploitation (prostitution) or what is known as tourist marriage phenomenon. The official institutions, authorities and governments often keep silent towards it despite this phenomenon increase year after another. In addition to the defect of government social assurance that does not include the poorest women; so as avoid them getting indulged in this phenomenon and the marginalizing women role without getting them fully involved in the society. This matter contradicts with the customs, traditions and the rules of Islam particularly in Egypt. The research significance dwells on breaking the silence that shrouds this phenomenon and face the reality with mechanisms that prevent this phenomenon exacerbation in the future through opening new horizons of further research for those researchers interested in this phenomenon. Research Objectives The research aims to identify the world sex markets according to the supply and demand theory; then reveal mechanisms that control the sex industry under the market value and organized crime. It aims as well to identify the spread extent of this phenomenon, its social and economic reasons at the world level in general. It also aims to identify the size of sex industry in Egypt; showing the affecting factors behind this phenomenon increase in the light of the results of the fieldwork study on a sample of some female interviewees working in the sex industry in Egypt. The study provides suitable suggestions to curb this phenomenon exacerbation in the future. Research Approach This is the first research of its kind in Egypt that handles the sex trade or prostitution from a social and economic perspective. It is a very complicated issue and highly sensitive as well. Its data collection can be impossible due to circumstances related to the suitable Egyptian society in terms of norms and traditions. The study has relied on the descriptive quantitative economic analysis technique to describe and analyze the development and reasons behind this phenomenon. The study has used the social survey technique through conducting confidential personal interviews of a deliberately selected sample of (20) prostitutes working in hotels and night clubs at Al-Haram Street and the Nile Cornish in Giza. Each interview is conducted in full confidentiality according to the wishes of the interviewees and their employers. The results of data collected from the interviewees sample are obtained by using a statistical technique. The interviews were conducted during the period of 1st February till 1st May 2013. The researcher has relied on this phenomenon data on the descriptive aspects only on the statistical and fieldwork studies conducted by other independent researchers or other UN affiliated researches on a group of countries where this phenomenon spreads. Research Plan The research is divided into the following five parts: First: The theoretical framework of sex markets according to the supply and demand theory. Second: The world development of sex industry size and its reasons. Third: The sex industry size development in Egypt and its reasons. Fourth: Results analysis of the interviewees’ sample in Egypt. Economics of Prostitution in the World and its Implications with Reference to Egypt 23 Fifth: Research findings and recommendations. FIRST: THE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK OF SEX MARKETS ACCORDING TO THE SUPPLY AND DEMAND THEORY Like the market for any commodity or service, the illicit commercial sex market is a function of supply and demand. Wherever demand occurs, supply and distribution emerge. The sex industry is lucrative and it has expanded rapidly in worldwide within the past few decades. For the men and women working in the sex trade, prostitution provides a way for people of low education to earn a high salary (Shrage, Laurie,2010). For the different countries, Sex tourism is the major source of foreign exchange and is vital to world’s economy. Unfortunately, only within the past three decades has the world governments given much attention to the social costs, such as the spread of HIV and the growth in human trafficking that the sex industry creates (World AIDS Campaign,2010 and CATW,2006). Sexual economy referred to the resources men offer to women in order to acquire sex. In this sense, the heterosexual community is considered as a marketplace where sex is bought and sold. Where in the sex economy men are the buyers, and women are the sellers (Griswold, Michael,2011). The decisions made regarding sex between a man and a woman may be influenced by the market conditions. As with all economic principles, price is determined by supply and demand, product variety, complicity among sellers, competition between sellers as well as other factors will all determine the price of sex. Becker Gary (1976) was the first theorist to define human behavior in terms of economics. There are four main assumptions to his definition. First, an individual’s behavior is interrelated in a market system in which individual choices are determined by cost and benefit in the framework of stable preferences. Second, scarce desirable resources are assigned by shifts in price and other influences on the market. Third, those that sell goods and services will compete with one another, and fourth people want to maximize their outcomes. This theory is used in a cultural sense to analyze the behavior of individuals as it is shaped by the market (Becker, Gary S.,1976). The interaction between a man and a woman through the evaluation of cost and benefit to each is referred to as Social Exchange Theory. If each one gains more than it loses in an interaction, the exchange will continue. Therefore, the main crux of the social exchange theory is the assumption that in every social interaction each person gives and gains something from the other, which is what constitutes the exchange. The broader market as well as individual preferences will determine the value of the gain and exchange process.

    MAKING COMMON CAUSE?: WESTERN AND MIDDLE EASTERN FEMINISTS IN THE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S MOVEMENT, 1911-1948 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Charlotte E. Weber, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Leila J. Rupp, Adviser Professor Susan M. Hartmann _________________________ Adviser Professor Ellen Fleischmann Department of History ABSTRACT This dissertation exposes important junctures between feminism, imperialism, and orientalism by investigating the encounter between Western and Middle Eastern feminists in the first-wave international women’s movement. I focus primarily on the International Alliance of Women for Suffrage and Equal Citizenship, and to a lesser extent, the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom. By examining the interaction and exchanges among Western and Middle Eastern women (at conferences and through international visits, newsletters and other correspondence), as well as their representations of “East” and “West,” this study reveals the conditions of and constraints on the potential for feminist solidarity across national, cultural, and religious boundaries. In addition to challenging the notion that feminism in the Middle East was “imposed” from outside, it also complicates conventional wisdom about the failure of the first-wave international women’s movement to accommodate difference. Influenced by growing ethos of cultural internationalism

  • The (Mukus) Taxes in Egypt During the Mameluke Era (648 AH/1250 AD-923 AH /1517)

Tel: 962-7-7776-3705. E-mail: [email protected] Received: March 21, 2013 Accepted: April 18, 2013 Online Published: June 29, 2013 doi:10.5539/ass.v9n9p234 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ass.v9n9p234 Abstract Although there are numerous studies about the history of the mameluke state, few studies deal with the economic conditions especially the taxes imposed on the Egyptian society. The study problem aims to shed light on the inception of the mukus taxes in Egypt, and its development during the Fatimid and Ayyubid eras, then to study the most prominent of the mukus taxes imposed during the mameluke era, and the state policy towards the imposition of taxes. This study depends on some historical sources contemporaneous of the mameluke state. The method used here is to collect information from modern historical sources, and followed by analysis and a critique of those sources, then conducting a discussion and formulation within a coherent well integrated paper. The mukus taxes originated during the Abbasid era, and developed further during the mameluke state where the sultan exaggerated in imposing the mukus taxes because they viewed Egypt as areas subject to the guarantee system for the sultan, the emirs and military of the state, so the state imposed taxes on all areas of trade, agriculture, industry and public utilities with grave consequences that led to people abandoning their cities and villages to evade taxes.

By situating Egypt’s ‘dancing girls’ in relation to the socio- cultural context of nineteenth-century Britain, it seeks to determine how gendered dynamics of power were culturally constructed and negotiated around these women. Such an approach breaks from previous historiographical contributions to the topic of Egyptian female entertainers by considering the wider implications of imperial power, gender, and sexuality within the politics of their representation. Chapter Two analyzes the cultural significance of the 1834 banishment of the ‘awâlim and ghawâzî from Cairo, and proposes alternative historical perspectives.

This dissertation explores the construction of social marginality of sex workers in colonial Cairo (1882-1952), in the context of major economical and social changes and the development of dramatically new concepts about the scope of intervention of the State on society.

It determines that in an effort to modernize Tanta-along with Cairo and Alexandria-the Cairo-based state authorities exponentially increased Tanta’s bureaucracy and physically transformed Tanta through public work and building projects. Local elites collaborated in this endeavor by joining the new administrative and judicial bureaucracies. Reforms to institutions that focused on physical and spiritual health (new forms of Sunni orthodoxy) became a vehicle to incorporate the governed classes into the project. Specifically, this project underlines the idea that the result of this undertaking was a form of modernity that was created by individuals and affected by local particularities, global forces and the Egyptian state’s reform. This work emphasizes that modernization was a process and shows the interchange between local, global and regional forces.

Women have fewer rights under the Islamic Shari‘a (law). Is this true or not? Does Islam really exclude women from political participation? Are Islamists, who have their political agenda, supporting or oppressing women? Are Islamist feminists, who are a contemporary phenomenon especially in the Middle East, politically active or inactive? Are liberal or secular women in Egypt more democratic than Islamist women or the opposite? Such questions will be addressed in the following research with emphasis on examining the role of women in Egyptian politics during Ikwhan’s - Muslims Brotherhood (MB) - regime.

Togo Mizrahi and the Making of Egyptian Cinema integrates fi lm analysis with fi lm history to tease out the cultural and political implications of Mizrahi’s work. His movies, Starr argues, subvert dominant notions of race, gender, and nationality through their playful——and queer——use of masquerade and mistaken identity. Taken together, Mizrahi’s fi lms offer a hopeful vision of a pluralist Egypt. By reevaluating Mizrahi’s contributions to Egyp- tian culture, Starr challenges readers to reconsider the debates over who is Egyptian MIZRAHI and what constitutes national cinema. and the “A captivating account of Egyptian film director Togo Mizrahi.
