Abstract
Egypt’s old guard is back?” It’s a constant question in Egypt: it reminds us about the political, institutional and economic role that the Egyptian armed forces (EAF) – the “glorious army” – play in the history of the country. Beyond national defence and all related issues (deterrence, military modernization, achieving military self-sufficiency), the Egyptian armed forces (EAF) pursue other important goals at a domestic level (such as maintaining a positive image with Egypt’s population, influencing the political process and serving as an engine for national economic growth and development) and in foreign affairs, supporting a pragmatic Egyptian regional role.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
