The interdisciplinary methodology argues that Western actors promoting market liberalization have served as central partners in enabling elites to capture the fruits of Egypt's economic reforms. In the years leading up to the 2011 Revolution, Egypt's crony capitalism reached new levels of visibility with the appointment of a "Businessmen Cabinet." The businessmen-turned-state representatives ushered in a wave of "market liberalizing" reforms, expanding avenues for the abuse of power. Providing a detailed look at some of this period's chief beneficiaries, including a number of Egypt's wealthiest oligarchs, the volume follows their ascent from former President Hosni Mubarak's first round of neoliberal reforms in 1991 through his last wave of reforms beginning in 2004 and ending in regime overthrow. The final chapter examines the fate of these elites under the brief rule of Muslim Brotherhood President, Mohammed Morsi, and of Abdel Fattah el Sisi's current military-backed regime. Based on five years of fieldwork and dozens of interviews with businessmen and state representatives, this book offers a unique look into the politics of policy, and inequality, in Egypt. It will be of interest to scholars reading political economy, international development, and the Middle East studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Business and politics $z Egypt $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Business and politics $z Egypt $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Corruption $z Egypt $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Corruption $z Egypt $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Businessmen $x Political activity $z Egypt. 650 0 $a Elite (Social sciences) $z Egypt. 651 0 $a Egypt $x Economic policy. 651 0 $a Egypt $x Politics and government $y 1981-2011. 651 0 $a Egypt $x Politics and government $y 2011- 650 7 $a Business and politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00842401 650 7 $a Businessmen $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00842964 650 7 $a Corruption. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01352550 650 7 $a Economic policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902025 650 7 $a Elite (Social sciences) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908113 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a Egypt. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208755 648 7 $a Since 1900 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Smierciak, Sarah. $t Cronyism and elite capture in Egypt $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, [2022] $z 9781003185345 $w (DLC) 2021035938 830 0 $a Routledge studies in Middle Eastern politics. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020011609.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=14B263C2BFA611ECA5AD8FDE3CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
