- Title
EGYPT: WHY LIBERALISM STILL MATTERS.
- Authors
Dunne, Michele; Radwan, Tarek
- Abstract
The author expresses his views on the importance of liberalism to the political system of Egypt in 2013. Liberal ideas are being associated by many Egyptians to Western hegemony and colonialism. Political liberalism has several essentials, including the rule of law, government accountability, and citizens' rights, that gained popularity and crowded the liberal ideological field. Liberal ideas were appropriated by the National Democratic Party (NDP) and the Brotherhood, preventing the liberals from gaining public support.
