Summary/Abstract |
Morsi's ousting by the army and the conspicuous presence of former regime sympathisers in the new interim government has left Egypt facing yet another crisis. As political parties prepare for parliamentary elections scheduled for early 2014, an analysis of Egypt's elite powers, which have shaped the turbulent political course since the fall of Hosni Mubarak, is therefore especially pertinent to understanding Egypt today.

Summary/Abstract |
After Mubarak's ouster, the Egyptian senior command had assumed a guardian role similar to the former Turkish model despite a shoddy performance in maintaining public order and the questionable loyalty of the lower ranked officers and the ordinary soldiers. Its relative success in managing the transition was due to the willingness of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafists to negotiate as stakeholders in the system rather than to battle in the streets against the Army. The Muslim Brotherhood strategy worked. In August 2012, recently elected president Morsi subordinated the military by removing the veteran Minister of Defence, the Chief-of-Staff, and other key officers. The military caved in without a whimper.

Summary/Abstract |
America is in a bad mood.
In the midst of the worst economy since the 1970s, we're on the verge of losing the war in Afghanistan, the longest we've ever fought, against stupefyingly primitive foes.
We sort of won the war in Iraq, but it cost billions of dollars, thousands of lives, and Baghdad is still a violent, dysfunctional mess.
