Abstract:
|
This study is part of an emerging research program on the forces sustaining and reproducing authoritarian rule in the world today. It is also a contribution to an older research program focused specifically on authoritarian rule in Egypt, and the larger Arab world. It seeks to focus attention on a previously neglected dimension which I will argue has partly contributed to reinforcing authoritarian rule and inhibiting genuine political change in the Egyptian context: Peace making with Israel.
The literature on authoritarian rule in Egypt has traditionally focused on the origins of authoritarian rule, attributing it either to the specific requirements of late and dependent development, or to specific cultural attributes of the Arab-Islamic region. Often the origins of authoritarian rule are conflated with its persistence, with both phenomena being attributed to the same reasons. The literature which does discuss the persistence of authoritarian rule as a distinct political process tends to focus either on the rising challenge of political Islam or on the requisites of neo-liberal economic reforms. Overall, very little attention is given to the international dimensions of authoritarian rule, specifically to the impact of the peace process on Egyptian domestic politics, and more exactly on the longevity of authoritarian governance in this nation. |
