Business elite Egyptian post-Mubarak: a strong player among the generals and the Brotherhood deals with the study issued by the (German Institute for International and Security Affairs) of the researcher (Estefan Roll) control of the business elite on the Egyptian economy during the last decade of the Mubarak era, during the last decade of the reign of Mubarak dominated by a group of businessmen on large sectors of the Egyptian economy, which arrived with them to become the political elite and became well represent a large part in the control of strategic decisions. This poses a question about the role of the business elite in the process of transformation in Egypt, which began with the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak at the beginning of 2011 that you succeeded in defending their leadership in the Egyptian economy? Above all: Is this elite will continue to play an important political role in the post-Mubarak? As shown in the following analysis, the Egyptian businessmen have succeeded greatly in maintaining political control and economic development to this day. Despite the fact that a lot of the anger of Egyptians who took to the streets in early 2011 was focused heavily on the business elite because of corruption, but most businessmen still control their empires until now with the presence of this disorder. There was only a very small number of businessmen who have been referred to the courts in the months that followed the political transition. Business has benefited greatly from the permissive attitude dramatically from the military council, which took over the affairs of the country and absent corruption, transparency and legal procedures strict about this elite. The In terms of the Muslim Brotherhood this approach, even before the victory of its presidential candidate Mohamed Morsi in the presidential election in 2012, she was working on an alliance with the business elite has not made any effort to meet the demands of civil society around the opening of the investigation and inquiries about the malpractices of many businessmen. Instead, the Brotherhood has made it a priority to work outside the framework of settlement of the judiciary and preferred to cooperate with the elites and those attached to the network and its strength. But, above all, has built its economic policies on the principles taken from the Mubarak era, such as a focus on growth and the private sector. This trend, does not benefit only the wealthy class of entrepreneurs in the state. But trying to co-opt the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt's business elite have failed, as well as the efforts of a number of Muslim Brotherhood members to expand their activities in the field of business. There were only a group of business leaders agreed with the Muslim Brotherhood and accepted the claim of political power. The opponents of the Muslim Brotherhood were financially supporting the opposition, as well as establish a private media channels in order to kill them. The vast majority of secular business elite do not trust in political Islam, which does not belong to their social circles. The deepening cautious and increased during the presidency of Mursi and his government, which was inefficient and professionalism in its economic policy and sent a wrong signal to the camp business. As that conflict with sections of the business elite could be the reason of the failure of the distributor Brotherhood in assembling the force required during the elections. The overthrow of Marsa on the third of July 2013 on the basis of popular pressure on the streets, along with other groups behind the scenes, including the business elite, which has worked for months to make sure the fall of the Muslim Brotherhood politically. The Mursi government, which did not enjoy popular support in the political maneuvers, has lacked the strength to resist these groups that stand in front of her, including the business elite. And still control the business elite on the political process is largely unnoticed. Number of pages 34 study paper to request the full study Connect with us on the site
