Revisiting the Political Economy of the State to Society Relation during Mubarak Regime
This study revisits the political economy of the Mubarak Regime and his downfall byengaging with the existing literature, which dwells on political, economic,administrative, legal, and constitutional methods of maintaining hegemony and regimessurvival. This paper revisits and combines them into a single framework and argues thatstate structure and society remained fundamentally disconnected from each other,whereas their relations remained dialectical between the state's control over society onthe one hand and interests of the people on the other. It is argued that Mubarak madeuse of moralism rhetoric and pragmatic coercion that disenfranchised the society ofEgypt from the state structure and interest articulation which were not sustainable forthe longer term. It is argued that the revolution was rolled back as the Morsi regimeapplied the same tactics his predecessor had applied.
