Examining business-state networks in Egypt (19912020), this book highlights the complicity of international actors in facilitating inequality and elite capture. Using interdisciplinary methodology, it argues that Western actors promoting market liberalization have served as central partners in enabling elites to capture the fruits of Egypts economic reforms.In the years leading up to the 2011 Revolution, Egypts crony capitalism reached new levels of visibility with the appointment of a Businessmen Cabinet. The businessmen-turned-state representatives ushered in a wave of market liberalizing reforms, expanding avenues for the abuse of power. Providing a detailed look at some of this periods chief beneficiaries, including a number of Egypts wealthiest oligarchs, the volume follows their ascent from former President Hosni Mubaraks first round of neoliberal reforms in 1991 through his last wave of reforms beginning in 2004 and ending in regime overthrow. The final chapter examines the fate of these elites under the brief rule of Muslim Brotherhood President, Mohammed Morsi, and of Abdel Fattah el Sisis current military-backed regime.Based on five years of fieldwork and dozens of interviews with businessmen and state representatives, this book offers a unique look into the politics of policy, and inequality, in Egypt. It will be of interest to scholars reading political economy, international development, and Middle East studies.

This book is both uniquely broad and deep in its approach to understanding Egypts development failure which has occurred despite massive external support provided to the country. It presents a model by which similar developmental failures, whether in the MENA or elsewhere, can be analyzed and compared.
Robert Springborg, Naval Postgraduate School, USA
Sarahs work is an excellent contribution to the political economy of Egypt and the Middle East. It studies Egypts globalized trade and investment sectors. It reveals how foreign financial and developmental institutions were part of the networks of state-business relations, which has been hardly addressed before.
Amr Adly, American University in Cairo, Egypt
Interdisciplinary in methodology and theoretical orientation, Cronyism and Elite Capture in Egypt provides the most persuasive account of the networks, domestic and international, that shaped Egypts global market integration on neoliberal terms and reaped its benefits. Smierciak also reveals herself as a gifted narrator, and the result is an eminently readable story, absorbing and infuriating in equal parts, of crony capitalism in the late Mubarak era.
