The Muslim Brotherhood and the Illusion of Power
In this paper, the author observes the uncertain political transition in Egypt, focusing on the dominant position of Muslim Brothers. The author argues that whatever will happen next, the Egyptian case shows that autocracies are incredibly adaptable and that the Egyptian authoritarian regime could very well survive and even flourish again after sacrificing its president and the Gamal Mubarak business cohort and reshuffling its ruling coalition.
