The author elaborated the political situation in Egypt before, during, and after the Arab Spring. The defenders of the established order had gotten much income from the authoritarian regime, yet many people had gotten less income from the state. Therefore, contrary to popular belief, the internal dynamics in Egypt Arab Spring served not to change the balances in the Middle East, but to the continuation of the institutional order (the established order). The author believes that an extensive range of information has been contributed to the literature. Most importantly, this book brings to light the role of the domestic factors and global actors on the failed transition to democracy in Egypt. Why Did Egypt's Transition to Democracy Fail? This is the crucial point of the book. It is too early to decide whether the transition to democracy in Egypt is going to happen in the future or not, even though there is an ardent effort from the beginning of the Arab Spring until the military coup in 2013.
