Egypt's Regional Role

Abstract

Egypt recognizes the gradual shift in emphasis in the post-Cold War world from geopolitics to geoeconomics. Egypt needs to restructure its economy and its defense posture if it is to play any substantial geostrategic role. Failure to meet this challenge could affect its role as a strong U.S. partner and a moderating force in the region. The workshop examined four aspects of Egypt's future regional role: Egypt's regional aspirations and its capacity to achieve them; regional trend likely to affect this role and the U.S.-Egyptian partnership; the military posture Egypt will require in the post-Cold War era and its willingness to adapt to new challenges; the nature and future direction of the U.S.-Egyptian relationship.
