Abstract
Like his predecessors, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is reverting to the twin strategy of use of
economic liberalization and coercion against religious extremism as devices to delay
democratisation in Egypt. The report argues that past experience indicates that neither economic prosperity nor stability will result from this old strategy. On the whole, it concludes that el-Sisi’s Egypt is sliding back into use of and dependence on autocratic management of politics and economics.
