After the ousting of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in
February 2011, much debate surrounded the reasons for the former
regime's longevity and its collapse. Here, Safinaz El Tarouty
provides an original contribution to the study of authoritarianism
in Egypt by focusing on the role of businessmen in authoritarian
survival. As the regime intensified neoliberal economic reforms
that led to social deprivation and frustration among increasing
numbers of Egyptian citizens, they co-opted businessmen in order to
defuse challenges and buttress the regime, constructing a new
political economy of authoritarianism. Extending the existing
literature on clientelism, El Tarouty creates a typology of
regime-businessmen relations to describe the multiple mechanisms of
co-option in the context of economic liberalization. Ultimately,
though, these businessmen proved too narrow a constituency to
provide legitimacy to the regime and, in fact, formed one of the
reasons for its collapse.
