    Adapting authoritarianism: institutions and co-optation in Egypt and Syria

    No full text
    This PhD thesis compares Egypt and Syria’s authoritarian political systems. While the tendency in social science political research treats Egypt and Syria as similarly authoritarian, this research emphasizes differences between the two systems with special reference to institutions and co-optation. Rather than reducibly understanding Egypt and Syria as sharing similar histories, institutional arrangements, or ascribing to the oft-repeated convention that “Syria is Egypt but 10 years behind,” this thesis focuses on how events and individual histories shaped each states current institutional strengthens and weaknesses. Specifically, it explains the how varying institutional politicization or de-politicization affects each state’s capabilities for co-opting elite and non-elite individuals. Beginning with a theoretical framework that considers the limited utility of democratization and transition theoretical approaches, the work underscores the persistence and durability of authoritarianism. Chapter two details the politicized institutional divergence between Egypt and Syria that began in the 1970s. Chapter three and four examines how institutional politicization or de-politicization affects elite and non-elite individual co-optation in Egypt and Syria. Chapter five discusses the study’s general conclusions and theoretical implications. This thesis’s argument is that Egypt and Syria co-opt elites and non-elites differently because of the varying degrees of institutional politicization in each governance system. Rather than view one country as more politically developed than the other, this work argues that Syria’s political institutions are more politicized than their Egyptian counterparts. Syria’s political arena is, thus, described as politicized-patrimonialism. Syria’s politicized-patrimonial arena produces uneven co-optation of elites and non-elites as they are diffused through competing institutions. Conversely, the Egyptian political arena remains highly personalized as weak institutions and individuals are manipulated and molded according to the president’s ruling clique. This is referred to as personalized-patrimonialism. As a consequence, Egypt’s political establishment demonstrates more flexibility in ad hoc altering and adapting its arena depending on the emergence of crises. This study’s theoretical implications suggest that, contrary to modernization and democratization theory’s adage that institutions lead to a political development, politicized institutions within a patrimonial order actually hinder regime adaptation because consensus is harder to achieve and maintain. It is within this context that Egypt’s de-politicized institutional framework advantages its top political elite. In this reading of Egyptian and Syrian politics, Egypt’s personalized political arena is more adaptable than Syria’s. These conclusions do not indicate that political reform is a process underway in either state

    Modern Arabic literary biography : a study of character portrayal in the works of Egyptian biographers of the first half of the twentieth century, with special reference to literary biography

    No full text
    In Chapter one, I presented a comparative definition of the meaning of Sirah (PI.Siyar), Tarjamah (Pl. Tarajim), Manaqib, Tabaqat and Maghazi as they were understood in antiquity. I also showed how the meaning of Sirah in modern times has only narrowly developed. Although the method of biographical writing continuously developed in Europe, it hardly progressed in Modem Arabic Literature. The only exception was seen in the writings by the pioneers of enlightenment in Egypt at the beginning of the twentieth century. This change of direction relied on borrowing European methodology in biographical writing. In chapter two, I reviewed the early attempts at writing biographies in the nineteenth century by Abd al Rahman al- Jabarti and Ali Mubarak. Although both were the first pioneers in this respect, yet they followed the footpath of classical approach above all that of al-Maqarizi from whom -Ali Mubarak derived inspiration in his book Al-Khitat al-Tawfiqiyyah. In chapter three, I studied the twentieth century, starting with traditional biography writers who could not employ European methodologies and whose writings oscillated between biographical notes and biographical sketches; or whose texts were more of a literary study than a biography proper. In chapters four to nine, I selected the most renowned, productive writers who best represented methodologies of biography writing. Perhaps certain writers have not been mentioned in this period of study. This is not out of negligence but simply because their texts were totally out of reach, or their writings did not exhibit the required literary criteria. All methodologies representing the theory of biography writing in Egypt have been analysed in these chapters. All, in fact, form a digestion or assimilation of French,English and German schools. In Egypt, Taha Husayn is considered the chairman of the French school, al-Mazini and al-Aqqad of the English/German schools, al-Nuwaihi of the psychoanalytical/anatomical school and Sidqi who employed both. By contrast, al Iryan was the trailblazer of the distinguished biographical novel. In these chapters, I tried to lay out the general outlines these writers have produced in the production of biographical texts, and how these attempts were a successful step on the road of presenting literary biographies characterized by high world standards. Chapter ten may well seem traditional, but it is important to give a comparative outlook on the views of biography writers themselves when they study and analyse the same character. Among the characters studied ,I selected Bashsliar, Abu Nuwas, Ibn al-Run-i, al-Mutanabbi and al-Maarri. These are outstanding landmarks in the history of Arab verse and the subject of a multitude of studies as well. Modern biographers took these figures as a test field for the deployment and employment of biographical methodologies. I selected these examples to provide comparisons and explain how far these biographies were successful in producing a biography or a profile of those classical poets. The conclusion and the bibliographical list arrived at the end of research. I wish, however, to clarify one important point here. It seems that I could not fix the year 1950 as the temporal parameter of my research but took some textswhich were published shortly beyond that point. The reason for this obvious extension was either to give additional useful details or simply because chapters of such texts had already been published prior to that year and were known to the readership. At times I would satisfy myself with analysing the part rather than the whole. This again was meant to eschew repetition or was due to the fact that the book in question was not available

This handwritten work is not widely known by the Banjar Muslim community. So, this paper discusses the "perwajahan(faces)" and characteristics of this work. In fact, the work on the science of faraidh has raised opinions regarding "the meaning of parallels between men and women in the context of the ashobah". The other findings are the composition of his writing contains a number of chapters consisting of 41 shahifahs. Every description is preceded by Arabic poetry, although not entirely translated into Malay Arabic. As part of the contents of the book, the author also added his discussion about Jadwal al Hujbi. The content has a complete material content like the book of Faraidh, all of which are presented in illustrative examples of each case.Jad Ahmad Mubarak merupakan gelar yang sengaja dipilih oleh penyusun Risalah Is’af al Raghibin fi ‘Ilmi al Faraidh.

Sebagai kelengkapan isi Risalah, pengarangnya juga menambahkan bahasannya mengenai Jadwal al Hujbi. Muatan materi yang lengkap layaknya kitab faraidh, semuanya disajikan dengan illustrasi contoh-contoh setiap kasus

    Smart Transportation System: Evaluating the Effectiveness of Smart Transportation Systems in Reducing Congestion and Emissions in Kaduna Metropolis, Nigeria

    No full text
    Urban transportation in Nigeria faces critical challenges of traffic congestion and rising emissions, which undermine economic productivity, environmental health, and urban livability. This study explores the potential and the actual use of smart transportation technologies, including Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning (ML), and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), to mitigate these challenges, with a specific focus on Kaduna Metropolis. A comparative case study approach is employed, using Lagos and Enugu as benchmarks for both established and emerging smart mobility interventions. Data were drawn from traffic volume counts, Peak Hour Factor (PHF) analysis, pollution metrics, and a comprehensive review of peer-reviewed studies. GIS mapping visualized congestion hotspots, while a proposed ML model demonstrates the potential for real-time traffic prediction. Results indicate that Kaduna metropolis experiences severe traffic congestion, with an average PHF of 0.78 and CO2 concentrations exceeding World Health Organization (WHO) safety thresholds. Lagos shows moderate improvements through initiatives such as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and ride-hailing platforms, while Enugu faces episodic traffic congestion due to socio-political disruptions. Based on these findings, the study proposes a context-specific smart transportation framework for Kaduna, integrating IoT-enabled traffic sensors, ML-driven analytics, and GIS-based spatial planning. The findings have broader implications for urban transport policy, infrastructure development, and sustainable mobility strategies in Nigerian cities and comparable urban contexts across Africa
