From the inner perspective as political activist and member of the newly elected Egyptian Parliament, Amr Hamzawy will delineate the current situation of the Egyptian society and forces of the power struggle behind the scenes. From the more distanced view point of a political scientist, he will draw on potential perspectives of his country and the region in the near future. Is Egypt heading into an Islamic Republic similar to Iran or into a stage of permanent crisis and smouldering civil war? What role could civil society forces, the educated liberal classes and moderate religious forces play to prevent such a gloomy scenario?
Amr Hamzawy is professor of political science at the University of Cairo. He received his PhD from the Free University Berlin. He worked as research director at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Beirut. During the Egyptian revolution, he was spokesman of the “Board of Wise Men” that offered to negotiate between government and protesters. He is founding member of Freedom Egypt Party and was elected member of the Egyptian Parliament in 2012. Among his publications are Civil Society in the Middle East (2003) and The Arab Future: Contemporary Debates on Democracy, Political Islam, and Resistance (2010).
