The Dilemma of Authoritarian Local Governance in Egypt
Edinburgh University Press (Verlag)
9781399502535 (ISBN)
The authoritarian upgrading process in Egypt has enabled the regime to have a more effective dominance in local politics and to enhance its political control. However, its strategies failed to overcome the weakness of system mobilisation functions, which reflected the authoritarian dilemma of bridging the macro (the national) and the micro (the local). Drawing on extensive fieldwork, Hani Awad explores the formal and informal decentralisation strategies employed under three regimes (Nasser, Sadat and Mubarak) to upgrade the Egyptian system of local governance without giving up power or democratising local governments.
Hani Awad is researcher in the Arab Centre for Research and Policy Studies (ACRPS), Doha Institute and editor of the Omran journal at the ACRPS. He previously worked as an academic assistant at the University of Birzeit, from where he received a master's degree in contemporary Arab studies. He has a PhD in international development from the University of Oxford and his research interests focus on a wide range of political and sociological topics. His published works include his book, Transformations of the Concept of Arab Nationalism (2012. Beirut: Arab Network for Research & Publishing [in Arabic]).
