Brexit, as usual, divides villages, families, friends - but from time to time there are demonstrations in London where, what a miracle, EU flags are waved, mainly by young people. Theresa May obtains all kinds of defeats, and it is a practical example of Sigmund Freud to observe the British flock of ministers. Trump seems - for the day only - tamed and civilized, at least in foreign policy, but you never know ... From time to time he provides the best comedy programme ever. And it is becoming strangely silent around Putin - no miracle, as he has all hands to do with his present construction sites. The rising star on the rabble-rousing boards is Mr. Erdogan from Turkey. He will be the reason why the ministries of foreign affairs of the EU will have to recruit routined psychologists, as a decent normal person has difficulties to get what he says and wants. May be EUFAJ publishes in one of its next issues a contribution that he is in truth a modern fascist? Or an article who in the EU economy still wants to play ball with his kind of country - or about the development of tourist figures (arrivals from foreign countries in Turkey). With this "trio

No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. Introduction following the large-scale popular uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak in February 2011, Egypt witnessed a polar- ization between Islamist and secular nationalist forces. Ultimately, this contentious dynamic culminated in the military toppling of the country’s first democratically elected post-revolution president, Mohamed Morsi of the Islamist movement al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun, better known in English as the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan will be used throughout this book). As soon as it took power, the new military-dominated administration led by Abdel Fattah al-Sisi undertook a campaign of repression, violently breaking up Ikhwan protests, killing a few thousand and arresting tens of thousands more. Remarkably, it did so with considerable support from nation- alist secularists and revolutionaries who had earlier protested in their millions against Morsi’s tenure and who had initially taken to the streets to denounce the tradition of regime-led oppression in their country. Even more striking was the extent to which the new military- dominated order and its supporters instantly sought to ground their legitimacy by invoking a historical precedent with great symbolic weight and situating themselves in relation to the legacy of Gamal 3 For general queries, contact [email protected] Gerges_Making the Arab World.indb 3 22/01/18 11:58 PM © Copyright, Princeton University Press.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 1° 9 5 £ Abstract This PhD researches the development of political parties in Egypt between 1981 and 2000 under the presidency of Husni Mubarak. The starting point of this investigation is the failure of Egypt’s parties to develop into politically-relevant organisations with strong constituency support in society. What we find instead are parties that - since the inception of multipartism in 1977 - remain characterised by their marginal role within the polity and politics of the state, that are little entrenched in society and that expose an underdeveloped and oftentimes fragmented internal structure. What is more, not only have these parties remained persistently weak, but since the early 1990s they experienced a further weakening of their position in the Egyptian polity.
