The Egyptian Way to Neoliberalism? IMF, World Bank and Reforms in Egypt

Abstract

Through the analysis of the interaction between national and international institutions, this chapter reconstructs the international political economy of reforms in Egypt under Mubarak. While it provides room for showing how reforms were delayed, diluted and at times opposed, the method of articulation allows us to see that two decades of reforms had decidedly transformed the Egyptian economy in a neoliberal direction.
