Egypt's autocratic regime is being weakened by economic crises, growing political opposition, and the pressures of globalization. Observers now wonder which way Egypt will go when the country's aging president, Husni Mubarak, passes from the scene: will it embrace Western-style liberalism and democracy? Or will it become an Islamic theocracy similar to Iran? Egypt after Mubarak demonstrates that both secular and Islamist opponents of the regime are navigating a middle path that may result in a uniquely Islamic form of liberalism and, perhaps, democracy. Bruce Rutherford examines the political and ideological battles that drive Egyptian politics and shape the prospects for democracy throughout the region. He argues that secularists and Islamists are converging around a reform agenda that supports key elements of liberalism, including constraints on state power, the rule of law, and protection of some civil and political rights. But will this deepening liberalism lead to democracy? And what can the United States do to see that it does? In answering these questions, Rutherford shows that Egypt's reformers are reluctant to expand the public's role in politics. This suggests that, while liberalism is likely to progress steadily in the future, democracy's advance will be slow and uneven. Essential reading on a subject of global importance, Egypt after Mubarak draws upon in-depth interviews with Egyptian judges, lawyers, Islamic activists, politicians, and businesspeople. It also utilizes major court rulings, political documents of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the writings of Egypt's leading contemporary Islamic thinkers. Author: Bruce K.

Written by international experts in the field, Video Registration is a survey of the state of the art in this fundamental technology. It is an essential reference to both academicians and practicing engineers working in the fields of security, surveillance, multimedia, and robotics. The increased availability of low-cost, low-power, highly accurate video imagery has resulted in a rapid growth of the applications for this data. Video imagery has many advantages over still frame imagery; for example, it provides context and timing relationships, which are suitable for dynamic situation monitoring and action verification. Manipulation of video requires automatic processing and analysis (computer vision and image processing), vast amounts of storage and efficient search methods (databases), high bandwidth communication (networking), and real-time implementations (VLSI/hardware). Users of video imagery include disaster relief agencies, environmental monitoring and planning applications, tactical military groups, civilian agencies such as homeland security agencies, city planners, transportation (traffic management), the entertainment industry, law enforcement groups, landscape ecologists, WWW users and trainers and educators. Video Registration is suitable as a text at the senior undergraduate and graduate levels.

Abdel Latif El-Menawy, the Controller of Egypt's television and radio, tells the inside story of exactly how January 2011's revolution played out. Besieged inside the State TV building for 18 days, El-Menawy was constantly in touch with the President and the ruling clique led by the President's son and heir apparent, Gamal, as well as ministers and officers at the highest levels of the Defence and Intelligence services. "His story is the inside story of what happened. It is a magnificent, astonishing and often wryly bitter record of bumbling, confusion and missed opportunities... Abdel Latif relates it all with verve, honesty, and occasional shame and quiet pride that he played a big role in ensuring Egypt's most fateful three weeks for a generation did not end in immediate tragedy and bloodshed." - Michael Binyon, The Times Author: Abdel Latif El Menawy Kindle Edition: 320 pages Kindle eBook Company: Gilgamesh Publishing (2012-03-13) (2012-03-13) List Price: Amazon Price:

The Egyptian protests in early 2011 took many by surprise. In the days immediately following, commentators wondered openly over the changing situation across the Middle East. But protest is nothing new to Egypt, and labor activism and political activism, most notably the Kifaya (Enough) movement, have increased dramatically over recent years. In hindsight, it is the durability of the Mubarak regime, not its sudden loss of legitimacy that should be more surprising. Though many have turned to social media for explanation of the events, in this book, Samer Soliman follows the age-old adage—follow the money. Over the last thirty years, the Egyptian state has increasingly given its citizens less money and fewer social benefits while simultaneously demanding more taxes and resources. This has lead to a weakened state—deteriorating public services, low levels of law enforcement, poor opportunities for employment and economic development—while simultaneously inflated the security machine that sustains the authoritarian regime. Studying the regime from the point of view of its deeds rather than its discourse, this book tackles the relationship between fiscal crisis and political change in Egypt. Ultimately, the Egyptian case is not one of the success of a regime, but the failure of a state. The regime lasted for 30 years because it was able to sustain and reproduce itself, but left an increasingly weakened state, unable to facilitate capitalist development in the country. The resulting financial crisis profoundly changed the socio-economic landscape of the country, and now is paving the way for political change and the emergence of new social forces.

Mubarak The Fourth President & a History of Egypt 1919-2011This book from the author of 'Gorbachev - The Rise And Fall Of A Hero', covers some history behind this country's recent past, in particular the change from sovereign rule, King Farouk I and King Fuad II being the last kings of Egypt, to the reasons behind the biggest change for Egypt when it became a republic, and the creating of the presidential system with the 'Revolution Command Council' appointing General Naguib as the first president and prime minister of Egypt. This book also seeks to give an insight into the recent history of this country, and the changes that took place, from the days of British Colonialism. The author acknowledges that there may be various views, in particular, on Hosni Mubarak's rule, and has no intention, either expressed or implied, to show a perspective from any particular or selected element of society, or political point of view, but seeks only to explain to some extent the history, sometimes violent, and the events leading to Hosni Mubarak being elevated to the position of President of Egypt. Any views either expressed or implied are solely those of the author, who has, to the best of his knowledge, completed this work to provide a concise and unbiased historical account.

A new, provocative book from the author of Whatever Happened to the Egyptians? Galal Amin once again turns his attention to the shaping of Egyptian society and the Egyptian state in the half-century and more that has elapsed since the Nasserite revolution, this time focusing on the era of President Mubarak. As usual, he orders his chapters thematically, addressing such pressing issues as corruption, poverty, the plight of the middle class, and of course, the economy. Along the way, he directs his penetrating gaze toward the Mubarak regime's uneasy relationship with the relatively free press it has encouraged, the vexing issue of presidential succession, and Egypt's relations with the Arab world and the United States. Addressing such themes from the perspective of an active participant in Egyptian intellectual life throughout the era, Galal Amin portrays the Mubarak regime's stance in the domestic and international arenas as very much a product of history, which, while not exonerating the regime, certainly helps to explain it.Author: Galal Amin Kindle Edition: 180 pages Kindle eBook Company: The American University in Cairo Press (2011-03-01) (2011-03-01) List Price: $18.95 Amazon Price: 
An easy-to-follow guide to the theory and practice of project scheduling and controlNo matter how large or small the construction project, an efficient, well-thought-out schedule is crucial to achieving success.

Famous until the 1950s for its religious pluralism and extraordinary cultural heritage, Egypt is now seen as an increasingly repressive and divided land, home of the Muslim Brotherhood and an opaque regime headed by the aging President Mubarak. In this immensely readable and thoroughly researched book, Tarek Osman explores what has happened to the biggest Arab nation since President Nasser took control of the country in 1954. He examines Egypt’s central role in the development of the two crucial movements of the period, Arab nationalism and radical Islam; the increasingly contentious relationship between Muslims and Christians; and perhaps most important of all, the rift between the cosmopolitan elite and the mass of the undereducated and underemployed population, more than half of whom are aged under thirty. This is an essential guide to one of the Middle East’s most important but least understood states.

"Egypt is the next domino to fall and, as they say, so goes Egypt so goes the Middle East." - Robert Baer, former Middle East-based CIA operative, author of See No Evil and Sleeping with the Devil.―This book is stunning in its revelations of Mubarak's stranglehold on every aspect of life in this glorious, long- suffering nation. Connecting one mysterious dot to the next, the author teases the reader from chapter to chapter as he lucidly explains the details of Egypt's worst kept secrets of all...the ‗secret' of Mubarak's power and how he plans to rule from his own royal crypt.‖ - Professor Tate Miller, Monterey Institute of International Studies. ―Let me give you the four scariest words I can't pronounce in Arabic: Egypt after Mubarak. Mubarak's emergency rule dictatorship is deep into its third decade, making him one of Egypt's most durable pharaohs. His succession plan is clear: Son Gamal tries to replicate Beijing's model of economic reform, forestalling political reform...‖ - Thomas Barnett, Esquire columnist and author of ―The Country to Watch: Egypt.‖ ―U.S. policymakers now face a difficult choice: continuing to support the iron-fisted rule of Mubarak and his likely hand-picked successor, or backing a beleaguered democratic opposition that some believe could open the door to Islamic fundamentalist rule‖. - Voice of America. ―The Last Pharaoh is nuanced and remarkably thorough. The simplicity of the style and content makes this book required reading for students, journalists, policymakers and general public in order to understand the mechanisms of authoritarianism and despotism in Egypt and Arab countries.‖ - Political Science Professor, Noureddine Jebnoun, Georgetown University.

Over the last thirty years, the Egyptian state has increasingly given its citizens less money and fewer social benefits while simultaneously demanding more taxes and resources. This has lead to a weakened state—deteriorating public services, low levels of law enforcement, poor opportunities for employment and economic development—while simultaneously inflated the security machine that sustains the authoritarian regime. Studying the regime from the point of view of its deeds rather than its discourse, this book tackles the relationship between fiscal crisis and political change in Egypt. Ultimately, the Egyptian case is not one of the success of a regime, but the failure of a state. The regime lasted for 30 years because it was able to sustain and reproduce itself, but left an increasingly weakened state, unable to facilitate capitalist development in the country. The resulting financial crisis profoundly changed the socio-economic landscape of the country, and now is paving the way for political change and the emergence of new social forces.

Mubarak The Fourth President & a History of Egypt 1919-2011This book from the author of 'Gorbachev - The Rise And Fall Of A Hero', covers some history behind this country's recent past, in particular the change from sovereign rule, King Farouk I and King Fuad II being the last kings of Egypt, to the reasons behind the biggest change for Egypt when it became a republic, and the creating of the presidential system with the 'Revolution Command Council' appointing General Naguib as the first president and prime minister of Egypt. This book also seeks to give an insight into the recent history of this country, and the changes that took place, from the days of British Colonialism. The author acknowledges that there may be various views, in particular, on Hosni Mubarak's rule, and has no intention, either expressed or implied, to show a perspective from any particular or selected element of society, or political point of view, but seeks only to explain to some extent the history, sometimes violent, and the events leading to Hosni Mubarak being elevated to the position of President of Egypt. Any views either expressed or implied are solely those of the author, who has, to the best of his knowledge, completed this work to provide a concise and unbiased historical account.
