    WMHSMUN XXXIV After the Accords: Anwar Sadat’s Cabinet Background Guide “Unprecedented committees. Unparalleled debate. Unmatched fun.” Letters From the Directors Dear Delegates, Welcome to WMHSMUN XXXIV! My name is Hank Hermens and I am excited to be the in-room Director for Anwar Sadat’s Cabinet. I’m a junior at the College double majoring in International Relations and History. I have done model UN since my sophomore year of high school, and since then I have become increasingly involved. I compete as part of W&M’s travel team, staff our conferences, and have served as the Director of Media for our college level conference, &MUN. Right now, I’m a member of our Conference Team, planning travel and training delegates. Outside of MUN, I play trumpet in the Wind Ensemble, do research with AidData and for a professor, looking at the influence of Islamic institutions on electoral outcomes in Tunisia. In my admittedly limited free time, I enjoy reading, running, and hanging out with my friends around campus. As members of Anwar Sadat’s cabinet, you’ll have to deal with the fallout of Egypt’s recent peace with Israel, in Egypt, the greater Middle East and North Africa, and the world. You’ll also meet economic challenges, rising national political tensions, and more. Some of the problems you come up against will be easily solved, with only short-term solutions necessary. Others will require complex, long term solutions, or risk the possibility of further crises arising. No matter what, we will favor creative, outside-the-box ideas as well as collaboration and diplomacy.

REVOLUTION WITHOUT REFORM? A CRITIQUE OF EGYPT'S ELECTION LAWS SAHAR F. Aziz* ABSTRACT This Article compares Egypt's election laws before and after the Janu- ary 25 Revolution to determine whether the changes are sufficient to pro- duce the structural reforms Egyptians demand. This Article concludes that Egyptian elections processes and institutions remain insufficiently transparent,fail to produce results reflecting the diversity within Egyp- tian society, and fail to offer all Egyptians-especially women and relig- ious minorities-an equal opportunity to actively participate in governance of their country. The Article critically assesses recent changes in Egypt's electoral regime and considers whether Egypt had a revolution without reform. The the- sis is twofold. First, the post-revolution amendments worsen prospectsfor Egyptian women and Coptics to be elected to office, thereby further marginalizing them in the public sphere.

  • EGYPT Dates of Elections: 7 and 14 June 1979 Purpose of Elections
    EGYPT Dates of Elections: 7 and 14 June 1979 Purpose of Elections Elections were held for all the popularly-chosen members of Parliament following the premature dissolution of this body on 21 April 1979. Previous general elections had been held in October-November 1976. Characteristics of Parliament The unicameral Parliament of Egypt, the People's Assembly, has 392 members: 382 are elected, at least half of whom must be workers and farmers and 30 women*; 10 are members appointed by the President of the Republic. The Assembly has a 5-year term. Electoral System All citizens at least 18 years old have the right to vote (naturalized citizens obtain this right five years after naturalization). Disqualified are the insane, undischarged bankrupts, persons convicted of crime or whose property has been sequestrated, persons who have been dismissed from guardianship for reasons of bad conduct or betrayal and persons who have been dismissed from employment in the Government or the public sector for dishonourable reasons. Electoral registers are revised each year in December. Male electors are automatically registered; women, on request. Voting is compulsory for men, failure to do so resulting in a fine of one Egyptian pound. Any candidate for election to the People's Assembly must be a qualified and registered elector who is at least 30 years old and proficient in reading and writing and who has either been enlisted in or exempted from military service. (Naturalized citizens may be candidates 10 years after naturalization.) Except in certain cases determined by the Assembly, the office of parliamentarian is incompatible with that of employee of the Government.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship Repository SELF-DETERMINATION MEANS DETERMINING SELF: LIFESTYLE POLITICS AND THE REPUBLIC OF NEW AFRIKA, 1968-1989 BY EDWARD EUGENE ONACI DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Sundiata Keita Cha-Jua, Chair Professor James R. Barrett Associate Professor Clarence E. Lang, The University of Kansas Associate Professor Erik S. McDuffie i Abstract This dissertation explores the history of the RNA during its formative years and New Afrikans’ efforts to procure territorial independence in order to make their contributions to African American politics better known. It considers in depth the connection between Black self-determination, citizenship, and territorial sovereignty as it seeks to position New Afrikans and their goals more prominently in the historical scholarship of the Black Liberation Movement and in public memory more generally. Next, my dissertation studies how social movement participation impacts activists’ identities and mores through the prism of “lifestyle politics,” which ensures that activists’ humanity remains central to their story. I define lifestyle politics as the everyday lived practice of political ideology. It is the constant interpretation, contestation, negotiation, and reproduction of ideas shared between activists, and it elucidates the significance of mundane interactions between each individual and the ideas on which they base the pursuit of their group’s goals.

  • Constitutional Authority and Subversion: Egypt's New Presidential Election System
    CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY AND SUBVERSION: EGYPT'S NEW PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION SYSTEM Kristen A. Stilt* INTRODUCTION It is no surprise that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak won the September 7, 2005 elections under the new presidential election system he created.' Many observers noted at the time that while Mubarak and his National Democratic Party (NDP) would most likely still win in 2005, at least the new system established the principle of multi-candidate presidential elections and thus the possibility of a different election result in the future.2 Mubarak started the constitutional amendment process on Feb. 26, 2005, giving the legislature very detailed instructions to prepare the text of an amendment in order to change the presidential selection system from a single-nominee referendum to a multi-candidate election. The legislature prepared and adopted the text of the amendment and submitted it to a national constitutional referendum on May 25, 2005, amidst protests ranging from objections over the * Assistant Professor, University of Washington Law School. I thank the University of Washington Law School for funding that allowed me to conduct research for this article in Cairo, Egypt, in Summer 2005. I am grateful to my colleagues at the University of Washington Law School for the opportunity to present this work at a faculty colloquium and the faculty workshop facilitated by Professor Louis Wolcher and for the helpful comments made at these forums. Professors Ellis Goldberg, Joel Ngugi, and Dongsheng Zang of the University of Washington and Professor Tamir Moustafa of the University of Wisconsin were invaluable in discussing the comparative and Egyptian constitutional issues.
