Amongst the turbid and dysfunction that is the Middle East lies the nation of Egypt. Egypt, a major country of the Middle East, is habitually considered stereotypical of Middle Eastern civilization, but further research guides one to the conclusion that Egypt is far from a generic Middle Eastern country. Egypt has a strong tradition of nationalism that has been formed during its history, giving it a national unity that is often non-existent in other Middle Eastern nations (1). This, as well as other advantages that Egypt has gained during its past, has allowed it to rise above the problems plaguing the rest of the Middle East and to form basically its

Furthermore, Egypt then gained its independence in 1922, it being granted by the British; but the much of the British remained in the northern region of Egypt and in the duration of World War II, Egypt and the Suez Canal were fundamental connections in the empire of Britain. A government was then under king Farouk in 1936 but the government was very inefficient and corrupt. Egypt was not very happy with Britain’s control of the Suez Canal. In the year of 1952, army officers commenced a revolution to overthrow King Farouk and in 1953 a republic was established in Egypt. The leader of this revolution was Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser and became the

In 1903, Jack London wrote his best selling novel, concerning the life of a sled dog that travels throughout Alaska, the Yukon, and the Klondike. Throughout this book Jack London uses personification to illustrate the dog’s viewpoint. London describes what adventures the dog encounters after being kidnapped from his Santa Clara Valley home to be taken to Alaska as a sled dog to help men pursue gold in the gold rush of 1897. Buck, is the name of this sled dog who experiences his primitive life style for the first time after many forays through Canada and Alaska.

As the Industrial Revolution begins, the idea of capitalism began to come up. It is economic and political system in which private owners control the country’s trade and industry for personal profit. The government intervenes the least as possible so that the best companies survive

The book touches on topics with a broad range from politics to economy to geography. The book is solely based on research of the Egyptian government from the time when Mubarak took power, 1981, up until the writing of the book which was in 1989.

Colonial power ruled Egypt for almost a hundred years, exploiting and extracting as much wealth from Egypt as possible. After this long period of subjection to outside rule, Gamal Abdel Nasser became president of Egypt in 1956. He was the first Egyptian who was a ruler “of the people.” Egyptians, Arab nationalists, and many other world leaders loved Nasser and his leadership. His swift, bloodless takeover and rise to president in conjunction with his smooth, calm speeches gained him popularity. What truly made him infamous was his nationalization of the Suez Canal Company that ended British influence in Egypt. Decades after his death, Nasser is still believed to be “greater than that of many other political leader since the Prophet Mohamed” . However, many of Nasser’s actions demand that his rule be reconsidered. Nasser 's nationalization of the media, repression of political opponents, institutionalized torture of the Muslim Brotherhood, and failure to successfully implement his national planning all suggest that Nasser’s actions contributed to the many economic, political, and military problems Egypt faces today

Three months ago, no one in the world could have expected the collapse of the Egyptian regime as a result of a popular revolution. The Egyptians revolted against the iron-fisted hand of the Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak, over three main authorities in Egypt, which are the legislative authority, the executive authority, and the judicial authority. Revolutionaries also called for overthrow the Egyptian regime in order to achieve all their aspirations for a better life in Egypt, and this appeared clearly from their daily chant for eighteen continuous days, which was “the people want to bring down the regime.” They realized most of their aims through overthrowing Hosni Mubarak the last Egyptian Pharaoh, and agreed on the transferring of

These are evidence that corporatist system exists in Egypt. Taking Ezz Steel as an example, we can see that Ahmed Ezz was a political figure as well as a businessman. Ahmed Ezz held high ranking political positions and was one of the richest businessmen in Egypt. Ezz steel controlled the steel market in Egypt. "Allegations of corruption, monopolistic practices and illegal obtaining of licenses had surfaced for years around Ezzsteel"(Ammous) and the government was passive about it. The government was "politically influenced" to clear Ezz's name from all the wrongdoing. Ezz took over Alexandria Iron and Steel Company Dekhila (AISCD) which was established in 1982 and owned by state banks and petroleum companies. AISCD used to be the biggest steel producer. Gradually, through political connections and loans, Ezz was able to transform (AISCD) from statist control to his ownership(Ammous). This is a good example to show how Egypt moved from socialism to corporatism. Ezz also benefitted government initiatives and laws which is a clear evidence of
