The Sisi regime has not only entangled the country in political violence, but has also mired Egypt in a deep economic crisis. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book follows President Sisi's regime in the aftermath of the coup that brought him to power. It is a chronology of the devastating political, economic and social consequences of direct military rule. Written by Egyptian political analyst and Egypt pundit, Maged Mandour, it is a compelling account built on years of writing and research. This includes analysis of primary sources, such as laws, constitutional amendment issued by the regime, statements made by regime officials, and local media, as well as official economic data from state sources and international organisations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMandour explains exactly how Sisi operates and what makes his regime so different, and so dangerous, compared to those that came before. It shows, for the first time, how Egypt has been pushed to the brink of the abyss and why this will change the country for decades to come.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46636884066462,"sku":"UBD-9780755649136","price":44.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780755649136.jpg?v=1774398654","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780755649136","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
