The problems plaguing Egypt are rooted in the authoritarianism - TopicsExpress



          

The problems plaguing Egypt are rooted in the authoritarianism embedded in the state structure and the kinds of patronage networks the military high command has created for the benefit of sections of the dominant social classes. This system has clearly not worked for the vast majority of Egyptians who demonstrated this failure by taking to the streets and bringing down Mubarak. It was clear then that the downfall of Mubarak did not mean the end of his regime’s entrenched interests in Egypt. Without uninterrupted democratic processes, and the emergence of political parties with strong links at the grassroots, it will be impossible for Egyptians to reverse the army’s supremacy and establish an elected government that is both responsive and accountable to the demands of the people.
