<br/><br/> Analysing the continued survival of authoritarian governments in the Arab world, this book uses Egypt as a case study to address the complex issue of democratization in the Middle East. It argues that their longevity is less to do with the strength of the regime, but more closely related to the divisions and weakness of opposition groupings.
