Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Preface -- Growth of the state under Mubarak : follow the revenue trail -- Changes in the distribution of state revenues : security prevails -- The impact of the fiscal crisis on the relationship between central and local government : decentralization or fragmentation? -- From the rentier to the predatory state : transformations in the mechanisms for generating public revenues and their political consequences -- The end of the rentier/caretaker state and the rise of Egyptian capitalism : a fiscal infrastructure for democracy? -- Epilogue. Soliman (political economy and political science, American University in Cairo, Egypt) conducts a political-economic analysis of the regime of the recently ousted Hosni Mubarak, who ruled Egypt for 30 years until the Egyptian popular uprising of 2011. His central argument, influenced by both Marx and Weber, focuses on state finances. It distinguishes between the regime and the state and argues that Mubarak's political authoritarian rule systematically weakened the state, leading to fiscal crisis in which declining revenues from oil, the Suez Canal, and foreign aid prompted the growth of independent economic centers of power and consequent political shifts empowering a rising bourgeoisie who are contesting the power of the old ruling bureaucracy represented by Mubarak.
