The economies of Turkey and Egypt, remarkably similar until the
early 1980s, have since taken divergent paths. Turkey has
successfully implemented a policy of export led industrialisation
whilst Egypt's manufacturing industry and exports have stagnated.
In this book, Amr Adly uses extensive primary research to present
detailed comparisons of Turkey's and Egypt's state administrative
and private sector capacities and links between the two. The
conclusion the author draws is that the external contexts for both
were so alike that this cannot account for their diverging paths.
Instead, the author suggests a counterintuitive yet compelling
explanation; that a democratic polity is far more likely than an
authoritarian one to engender a successful developmental state.
Emerging in the wake of the January revolution in Egypt, when hopes
for democratisation were raised, this book provides a fresh
perspective on the topical subject of state reform and development
in the Middle East and will be of interest to students and scholar
alike.
