Abstract
The conclusion attempts to systematically outline the method of articulation and its links to the key Gramscian concept of hegemony. It then discusses how this approach provides a deeper yet more nuanced understanding of the causes of the Egyptian revolution. More specifically, neoliberal reforms are to be seen as a necessary, but by no means sufficient, condition for the popular uprisings leading to the fall of Mubarak to occur.
