Abstract
This study discusses the political, economic and social dimensions of the January 25th
revolution in Egypt. It was selected for many reasons starting with the significance and
the huge influence of Egypt on both regional and Arabian levels, in view of the fact
that any change in the Egyptian situation will affect directly the surrounding areas.
Also, due to the considerable political and regional role of Egypt as it is deemed a
leading country in the region. On the other hand the Egyptian revolution, unlike other
Arabic revolutions, adopted a peaceful and nonviolent method in which the Egyptian
army embraced the revolution and protected it instead of encountering and suppressing
it.
The study uses the descriptive analytical methodology of research. It aims to reveal the
political, economic and social conditions prevailing prior to the revolution and how all
these conditions accelerated its broke out. Thus, the hypothesis of this study states that
there is a positive correlation between the change in the social, political, and economic
situation of the Egyptian people and the broke out of their revolution.
The study also aims to reveal the political, social and economic situations after the
revolution of January the 25th in terms of political pluralism in Egypt after the
revolution, the parties that participated in the elections such as religious and leftist
parties, the problems arose with these parties after the revolution and the constitutional
amendments accompanied with the political conflicts between the Islamic movements
and the opposition parties which defended their positions, as well as the national and
regional stances towards the revolution.
The study concluded that the Egyptian revolution is an integrated model for the public
uprisings which carry the seeds of a comprehensive changes in future, the general
result which is the main demand of the public is achieved by overthrowing the regime,
though the change in the social reality is still far to be achieved. Nevertheless, there are
some signs for a beginning of a new social contract that differs from the previous one
between the people and the government.
The study also concluded that the revolution was able to bring back to the Egyptians
their self. The protests become a method of expression and change which was
demonstrated obviously during the unfinished transitional period until now in spite of
electing a president and amending the constitution; a situation that can be attributed to
the political conditions and the economical crisis that the Egyptians suffer from. Thus,
it is highly necessary to start a comprehensive dialogue between the new regime and
all society sectors in order to achieve the purposes of the revolution in building the
nation on new basis of equality and democracy.
Moreover, the study points out to the tendency of the Egyptian new regime towards
“the Islamization of the regime” through the emerging Muslims’ Brotherhood party. It
looked at the Turkish, Indonesian and Malaysian experiences as models to be adopted
knowing that Muslims’ Brotherhood before revolutions are not the same as after them
Many rules and behaviors have changed in the Muslims’ brotherhood approach which
correspond to the needs of reaching the power and restraining it.
The researcher suggests further studies Carried out by researchers who are interested
in the Egyptian revolution discuss the political and the economic aspects in Egypt and
reveal the effects of the revolution on them. That is because this study did not deal
with the economic change in terms of statistical analysis .In addition to that, it did not
clarify the impact of the Egyptian revolution on the foreign relations such as the
relation with Israel
