The role of domestic factors on the failed transition to democracy in Egypt

Abstract

This paper focuses on the roles of the domestic factors on the failed transition to democracy in Egypt. Domestic factors had important impact on the authoritarian regime and established order in Egypt. The defenders of the established order had gotten much income from the authoritarian regime, yet many people had gotten less income from the state. Therefore, contrary to popular belief, the internal dynamics in Egypt Arab Spring served not to change the balances in the Middle East, but to the continuation of the institutional order (the established order). The domestic factors such as social, political and economic factors were the reasons of uprising. The former regime supporters regained the power by the military coup d'état with financial and political support from global actors.
