The Changing Face of Authoritarian Politics in Egypt
This talk examines how authoritarian rule in Egypt has evolved under the rule of Abdel-Fattah Al-Sisi, who is about to embark on his third term as president. It analyzes important shifts that Sisi’s political apparatus and governance strategies have undergone in the past decade and situates them in the economic and geopolitical challenges the country has confronted in recent years.
