The popular protests in early 2011 were once seen as a turning
point in the history of the Arab world, raising hopes for
democracy, freedom, and justice in the Middle East. A decade after
the uprisings, these hopes are largely dashed in each country swept
by popular protests with the exception of Tunisia. Tunisia became
the only democracy in the entire region while Egypt saw its first
freely elected president and government thrown out by the army in a
bloody coup which resulted in a regime that is no less
authoritarian than Mubarak's. This book provides a detailed
analysis of the political, economic, and constitutional
developments in Tunisia and Egypt. In the light of the existing
literature on comparative democratization, the author explores why
Egypt's path to democratization was eroded by several transitional
actors while Tunisian political elite managed to move the country
towards democracy. The book centers its focus on the role of the
political agents in designing the transition and explores the
transitional period with respect to the interactions among the
political elite and their cost-benefit assumptions, ideological
interests, as well as their commitment to democratic processes.
