Routledge Handbook on Contemporary Egypt de Robert Springborg

Routledge Handbook on Contemporary Egypt

Editat de Robert Springborg, Amr Adly, Anthony Gorman, Tamir Moustafa, Aisha Saad, Naomi Sakr, Sarah Smierciak
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2023

Considerăm că acest volum reprezintă un instrument indispensabil pentru înțelegerea mecanismelor puterii în Egiptul actual, începând analiza de la studiile de caz privind sistemele de infrastructură, educația și urbanizarea în perioada 1919–2011. Această abordare practică permite cititorului să observe cum politicile de stat se traduc în realități sociale concrete, înainte de a trece la analiza structurilor macroeconomice. Routledge Handbook on Contemporary Egypt este organizat riguros în secțiuni ce explorează tranziția de la ocupație la independență, evoluția regimului militar și eșecurile politicilor comerciale în ameliorarea competitivității externe.

Putem afirma că lucrarea se distinge prin profunzimea cu care tratează „geneza protecției împotriva loviturilor de stat” (coup-proofing) și relațiile complexe dintre mediul de afaceri și armată în context neoliberal. Comparabil cu Egypt de Eberhard Kienle în rigurozitate, acest manual este actualizat pentru a include dinamica post-2011, oferind o perspectivă mult mai detaliată asupra „mâinii invizibile” a instituțiilor guvernamentale egiptene.

În contextul operei editorului principal, Robert Springborg, acest handbook sintetizează temele explorate în Mubarak's Egypt sau Political Economies of the Middle East and North Africa, dar extinde cadrul de cercetare prin colaborarea cu alți 36 de experți. Rezultatul este o examinare multidimensională a modului în care autoritarismul persistent a modelat nu doar politica, ci și formele de expresie culturală și media. Progresia capitolelor, de la rădăcinile ideologice la politica externă contemporană, asigură o acoperire exhaustivă a provocărilor de dezvoltare cu care se confruntă o populație în creștere rapidă.

De ce să citești această carte

Această resursă este esențială pentru studenții și cercetătorii interesați de politica Orientului Mijlociu. Oferă o înțelegere profundă a modului în care armata a devenit coloana vertebrală a statului egiptean și explică de ce reformele economice au produs adesea rezultate contradictorii. Cititorul câștigă o viziune clară asupra raportului dintre instituțiile represive și mișcările sociale de rezistență.

Despre autor

Robert Springborg este profesor de securitate națională la Naval Postgraduate School și o autoritate recunoscută în studiile despre Orientul Mijlociu. A deținut catedra MBI Al Jaber la SOAS, Londra, și a condus London Middle East Institute. Expertiza sa în politica legislativă și structurile de putere din Egipt este documentată în lucrări de referință precum Family Power and Politics in Egypt și Businessmen in Arms. Prin acest manual, Springborg consolidează decenii de cercetare asupra economiei politice și a sistemelor autoritare arabe.

Descriere scurtă

Investigating key features of contemporary Egypt, this volume includes Egypt’s modern history, politics, economics, the legal system, environment, and its media and modes of cultural expression. It examines Egypt’s capacities to meet developmental challenges, ranging from responding to globalization and regional competition to generating sufficient economic growth and political inclusion to accommodate the interests and demands of a rapidly growing population.
The macrohistory of Egypt is complemented by the microhistories of specific institutions and processes that constitute separate sections in this handbook. The chapters revolve around political economy: it is shaped by the people and their abilities, political and legal institutions, organization of the economy, natural and built environments, and culture and communication. Politics has been overwhelmingly authoritarian and coercive since the military seized power in 1952; consequently, the contributions address both the causes and consequences of unbalanced civil–military relations, military rule, and persisting authoritarianism in the political society.
This multidisciplinary handbook serves a dual purpose of introducing readers to Egypt’s history and contemporary political economy and as a comprehensive key resource for postgraduate students and academics interested in modern Egypt.
