The Egyptian Social Contract explores the intricacies of the
relationship between the state and its citizens, from the
establishment of the semi-independent Egyptian nation in 1922 until
the 2011 Uprising. The book studies how and why a social contract
that had been reformed in the aftermath of World War II became the
core of state-citizen relations under President Nasser. It further
explores the long and tortuous search for a new social contract in
Egypt since the 1970s. Relli Shechter looks at how this social
contract channelled socioeconomic development over time, creating
an Egyptian middle-class society. Shechter probes a political
economy in which class vision and interests in development
intertwined with the rise and entrenchment of authoritarianism. The
perseverance of this social contract has mostly inhibited
socioeconomic and political reforms, or the making of a new social
contract, in Egypt. Such reforms would have challenged Egypt's
ruling elite, and no less so its middle-class society.
