	Politics of Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Politics of Egypt takes place in a framework of a semi-presidential republic, whereby the President of Egypt is de facto both head of state and head of government, and of a party system dominated by the National Democratic Party.
		The Court is the highest judicial power in Egypt and it alone undertakes the judicial control in respect of the constitutionality of the laws and regulations and shall undertake the interpretation of the legislative texts in the manner prescribed by law.

	Egypt Politics Among Elites
		A major issue of Egypt's elite politics was the role of the military in the state.
		In addition, because the defeat could plausibly be blamed on military involvement in politics, it discredited the military's claim to political leadership and enhanced the prestige of nonpolitical professional officers.
		Egypt's state-dominated economy, Sadat declared, was too burdened by military spending and bureaucratic inertia to mobilize the resources for an economic recovery.

	Nile Politics: Egypt’s Gamble
		There are clear signs that Egypt is prepared to relax its position and go some way to relinquishing control of the river.
		As Egypt is already using its full allocation of Nile water and groundwater sources are increasingly overexploited, the projects depend on the application of wastewater reclamation and strict management techniques to save water.
		Egypt may be seeking to foster regional co-operation but it will need more time to improve and develop its water resources, rationalise water use and protect watercourses against pollution and contamination.

		At the same time they opened the door to the various political forces in Egypt – including the Islamists, thousands of whom had been released from prison either because they had repented, or were close to the end of their sentences.
		For they were able to put their political stamp on the party after leaving the mistaken and hasty impression at the conference last year that they simply wanted to secure the allegiance of the president’s son, Jamal Mubarak.
		Despite the strategic importance of Sudan for Egypt, and the priority given to the issue after the latest security agreement between the government and the southern rebels, it is the US occupation of Iraq that is still the burning topic in Egypt, as it is throughout the Arab world.

	Egypt - Government and Politics
		Egypt has been governed by powerful centralized rule since ancient times, when the management of irrigated agriculture gave rise to the pharaohs, absolute god-kings.
		Egypt's centuries of subordination to foreign rule, its long struggle for independence, and its continuing dependency on other countries generated a powerful nationalism that made national legitimacy crucial to the acceptance of the authoritarian state.
		Although Sadat assumed power as Nasser's vice president and was a veteran of the revolution, he soon reoriented the policies of the state to reconcile it with the need for support from the Egyptian middle class and for a good relationship with the United States.

	Egypt: On the Politics of Ancient and Modern Religion
		It was most certainly politics, and the need for powerful men to gain control that forced these individual gods together in order to accommodate the religious beliefs in each of their holdings.
		Even in ancient Egypt, at any one time, and particularly in any specific part of Egypt there was usually considered to be a deity that was superior to other "gods" and there are scholars that will argue that these other gods were more closely related to the Christian concepts of an angle.
		Interestingly, in the Palermo Stone that documents early kings of Egypt and is important to Egyptologists for details of the early dynasties, it also documents several thousand years when mythical gods ruled, prior to the god Horus finally handing the rule of Egypt off to Menes, a human.

	Egypt: Antiquity Politics and the Kamose Find
		Egypt's rich heritage of antiquities has often played a major role in the country's political dealings, particularly with the west.
		Auguste Mariette, one of the best known early explorers of Egypt, but sometime of dubious fame in light of some of his methods, was ordered to precede the prince's visit and dig for antiquities.
		Even the "salting" technique intended for the French prince was repeated in 1868-69 for the visit of Edward, Prince of Wales, who was to "discover" a group of 30 coffins in the tomb of Amenkha at Thebes.

	Will Politics Tame Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood?
		A long-expected day of reckoning is at hand in Egyptian politics now that the Brotherhood, an illegal organization with a violent past, is entering the corridors of power for the first time in significant numbers.
		The open question is whether political influence could transform the Brotherhood into a moderate political party, like the governing Justice and Development Party in Turkey, rather than an organization that uses Parliament as a platform to proselytize.
		Turning Egypt into an Islamic state is an interim goal along the way to recreating the Islamic empire, or caliphate, of 1,000 years ago, with the modern version mirroring something like the European Union.

		CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - Police and plainclothes security men beat up groups of demonstrators opposed to President Hosni Mubarak and the constitutional changes he urged Egyptians to support Wednesday, as voting in a national referendum was expected to clear the way for Egypt's first multi-candidate presidential elections.
		Egypt's semi-official Middle East News Agency said preliminary results might be available late Wednesday.
		At polling stations, no voters were hard to find, but it wasn't clear whether their absence was due to boycott calls by Mubarak opponents or lack of interest in a measure sure to pass.
