Maan DammagAlgeria ,Egypt ,Iraq ,Jordan ,Lebanon ,Morocco ,Tunisia ,YemenEconomic policies played a major role in the revolutions staged in 2011 in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, and Syria as well as protests that took place in other countries in the region such as Bahrain and Morocco. However, Arab revolutions are still mainly attributed to the authoritarian nature of ruling regimes. With the collapse of socialism in the Eastern Bloc, chances at finding an alternative to the capitalist system dwindled. Even the 2008 financial crisis did not lead to serious attempts at replacing the economic system that triggered this crisis and most…

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…

Ahmed El MetwallyEgyptThe problems of the private sector in the healthcare field: There is a substantial lack of information about the status of the private healthcare sector.

This is in addition to more than 82,000 private clinics across the different governorates. The private sector takes a relatively major part in offering health services to Egyptians, yet is rife with problems, related especially to regulating its activities and prices and evaluating the…

Shimaa ElSharkawyEgyptIntroduction: A large number of Egyptians suffer from housing problems with the number of people living in unofficial housing units ranging between 12 and 20 million[1] while a large number of housing units in Egypt remain unoccupied. On the other hand, a study conducted about Cairo by UN Habitat[2] revealed that a sizable portion of Egyptians live in units that are either unsafe or not fit for living. Added to this is the fact that housing prices are generally high and this applies to both purchase and rent. The law regulating the relationship between owner and tenant is one…

Nayera Abdel RahmanEgyptThe education system in Egypt is facing numerous challenges on a variety of levels, which obstructs the materialization of the right to education with its different components as stated in Comment 13 on of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR)[1]. Among those components are the quality of education and the way curricula are tailored to the students’ needs whether in terms of knowledge or skills. The 2011-2030 education strategic plan underlined the absence of a broad vision as far as developing curricula is concerned and relying in upgrading curricula on a fragmented approach that…

According to a statement by the Administrative Prosecution, the cases of medical negligence in public hospitals alone reached 594 in 2014. Constant demands for countering the problem of medical negligence only resulted in surprise visits to hospitals by officials, governors, or representatives from the…

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…
