Produktbeschreibung
Egypt and the rise of fluid authoritarianism intellectually engages with regime discontinuity and the implications this rupture determines. It does this at the structural, political and economic level, domestically and along the international spectrum, by additionally questioning the institutionalisation of nature along the legitimation process. After the military coup of 2013, Egypt entered a phase of internal transition, where authorities attempted to forge a legitimation claim with former and new actors that emerged in the post-2013 panorama. However, this eventually led to a micro-structural re-organisation of infrastructural relations, which impacted the overall identity of the regime turning it into a fluid authoritarianism that added a non-exclusivist personalist sub-trait to the identity of the system. This resonated not only at a political but also an economic level. Based on extensive research and fieldwork conducted with key profiles based in the UK, the US, Europe, and Lebanon, this book provides a ground-breaking intellectual and empirical analysis on the rise of fluid authoritarianism in Egypt in the struggle for political legitimacy. It offers a concise overview of authoritarian adaptations and legitimation in the Middle East, and expands the existing literature in Middle Eastern politics and economics by offering a focus on environmental politics and reforms in the region.
