Jacqui Smith ,Mohamed ElAgati ,Nouran AhmedNew parliamentary elections for 2015, the third entitlement on the road map after the presidential election and the constitution, are about to be held. There seems to be a number of issues that await the next parliament, starting with the nature of issues and topics of consideration, the policies and legislations related to them, and also those from the point of view of the public and political context, which in turn poses challenges for parliamentary work and parliamentarians. At the forefront of these challenges is the question of the relationship between MPs and their constituencies,…

Abbas Merza AlMorshed ,Fulya Atacan ,Georges Fahmi ,MahaYahya ,Mohamed ElAgati ,Nouran Ahmed ,Rustam Mahmoud ,Saad Salloum ,Sabah Al Hallak ,Samir Morcos ,Walid Haddouk ,Youssef LaarajMany are confused by the senseless wars now spreading like wildfire throughout the Arab region. Some think that these conflicts have deep-rooted internal causes, such as the tension between Islamists and liberals. Others look at these conflicts from a sectarian and ethnic perspective and consider them rooted in fundamental disputes between religious or sectarian ideologies or between tribes and provincial regions. There is yet a third group that sees this as a crisis of old regimes…

Amr El Shobaki ,Andrew Feinstein ,Greg Power ,Kirk H Sowell ,Sana Mersni ,Stephen Farry ,Sue Griffiths ,Wassim MansouriPolitical Parties have a duty to the public to work together in the interests of the political system as a whole. Although it is important for parties to have distinct political positions, they must be ready to compromise and to reach political settlements at times of transition and serious conflict. Nevertheless, some political parties can see negotiation and compromise as a sign of weakness, particularly at times of crisis and upheaval in the political system.

Ahmed Fawzy ,Jacqui Smith ,Mohamed ElAgati ,Nick Sigler ,Sameh Makram EbeidEgyptOne cannot imagine that the crisis of party-line commitment faced by Egyptian political parties can be tackled or resolved without dealing with a key structural factor related to the process of establishing political parties following the Egyptian revolution. This was the historic moment that has ever since deeply affected the Egyptian political parties with its complications, manifestations, impacts and echo. The moments of the emergence of the Egyptian revolution and the first days of the revolution in the following 18 days were basically epic moments given the variety and diversity…

Reem Abdel HalimEgyptExecutive summary: The fair provision of public services has been quite problematic in a way that cannot be tackled just through adding a few articles to the constitution. These problems, instead, require legislative and administrative solutions that raise the citizens’ living standards through an equal distribution of services offered by the state. A major part of the problem lies in the way the state public budget is planned and administered. Several laws need to be amended through the intervention of members of parliament such as the State Public Budget Law number 53 for the year 1973 and its…

Mohamed ElAgati[1] This intervention focuses on tackling the methodology of the Euro-Med relations process rather than discussing particular events and incidents. First, I can describe the approach to this issue as problematic since it is based on a short-term view built on risk and interest assessment and measured mainly on trade balances. With the US/Russia current hegemony, like in the case of the current crisis in Syria, wise relations should target the long term and be based on opportunities and challenges’ assessments and measured on the capacity of cooperation and conducting dialogue between different stakeholders (not risk and interest). Measuring this…
