Strategic Forum, Number 4 August 1994. U.S. Egyptian Relations After the Cold War: Egypt's Growing Challenges
Abstract
Despite several well publicized problems-rising violence from Islamic extremists, an uninspired political climate, and continued unemployment and poverty-Egypt's regime is in no immediate danger of collapse. Rather, the serious problems are long term. If a concerted attempt to address them is not made now, Egypt's future and U.S. interests could be threatened. The workshop focused on four interrelated issues: whether the political system can be revitalized without political upheaval; whether Islamic activism can be moderated or effectively challenged by competing secular forces; whether Egypt's economic reforms can be sustained in the face of the painful political adjustments they will require; and whether the military will continue to play a stabilizing domestic role.
