Lecture Followed by Dinner: Egypt in Revolution 19 Apr 2012 Dr. Nathan Brown, George Washington University
Saturday, April 21, 3:00-5:00 p.m. at UNM Woodward Hall
Egypt is one of the most important, if not the most important, Arab country in the world, but we know very little about the new and confusing mix of forces and politics that has emerged following the removal of former President Mubarak.
After being ruled by the same president for thirty years, Egypt has entered a period of prolonged political transition. While the various political actors in Egypt - the military, Islamist groups, revolutionary youth, labor unions, and so on - are well known, these forces are forging a new set of rules for political life in a very uncertain setting. What sort of political order will arise in Egypt? How stable will it be? How democratic will it be? And how will it affect Egypt's international position?
