The fall of Hosni Mubarak: Skocpol's structural approach
No full textThe recent Arab Spring movement in the Middle East and North Africa has been heralded as
a transition to democracy for a region plagued by authoritarian regimes and their durable
leaders. This paper seeks to understand why Hosni Mubarak, Egypt's former long-time
president, was forced from office during the early months of 2011. Influenced by recent work
in political scholarship on the Middle East, the Post-democratisation paradigm, seeks to
escape from the democratisation paradigm. Instead of viewing events as indicative of
inevitable democratisation in the region, the paper attempts to explain events in terms of
Skocpol's structural approach to revolution which can also be used to understand significant
social change. In line with the structural approach the paper provides a contextual and
narrative history of Egyptian politics, including opposition and protests, as a backdrop to the
events between the 25th of January and the 11th of February 2011 which led to Hosni
Mubarak leaving office. The paper exhibits structural contradictions in the Mubarak regime,
some of which would lead to tension in the elite. Specifically, it highlights tension between
the military and the Mubaraks over the matter of Gamal Mubarak's apparent succession of his
father. This explains why the military would not use coercive force to help maintain
Mubarak's power. It found that the social movement #January25 was successful at
maintaining momentum in the face of state repression, including an analysis of the role of
social media
Not as strong as we thought: The puzzling collapse of the Mubarak regime in Egypt
No full textAfter nearly thirty years in rule, the regime of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt was considered by many to be as 1Cimmovable as the pyramids 1D (Hamid 2011: 102). However, the collapse of this regime in 2011, following a mere eighteen days of protests stymied many scholars who began to question how such a revered 18pharaoh 19 could have fallen so abruptly. In this thesis, I try to provide an answer to this question. I hypothesise that the collapse of the Mubarak regime was facilitated by four developments, which, when combined, exposed the true hollowness of the regime 19s coercive and persuasive powers. These four developments were: the declining legitimacy of the Mubarak regime; the defection of key internal and external allies from the regime; the coalescence of a broad and unified opposition; and the strategic use of social media by that opposition. Through the development of a theoretical framework and the subsequent application of that framework to the case study of Egypt, this thesis finds that all four of these developments were present and did in fact facilitate the collapse of the Mubarak regime by revealing the regime 19s lack of coercive and persuasive powers
Egypt etter Hosni Mubarak
