| Summary: | Following the 2011 uprising in Egypt, problems linked to state centralization and governance have been demonstrated by the renewal of the political rivalry between the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) and Egyptian army. Promises of decentralization made by president Abdel Fatah El-Sissi in 2014 have not yet become part of the state’s political agenda. This article analyzes the effects of government centralization in Egypt on two major political actors, the Egyptian army and MB. The analysis reflects upon the historical influence of state centralization and policies on both political actors as well as the impact of these groups on the political life of the country. The article also investigates the territorial importance of both actors as a way of examining the relationship of these actors with one another as well as with the state. |
