이집트 엘시시 정권은 어떻게 시민사회를 통제하면서도 정권의 정당성을 유지하고 있는가?
Egyptian civil society demonstrated its influence by leading the anti-government protests during the Arab Spring. It played a pivotal role in toppling the iron-fisted rule of Mubarak, Egypt’s long-standing authoritarian leader. However, it now finds itself under the control of a new authoritarian regime led by President el-Sisi. Perceiving civil society as a potential threat, the el-Sisi regime is resolute in its efforts to exert tight control. Rather than relying solely on overtly oppressive measures, the regime has developed various strategies to suppress civil society while simultaneously reinforcing its legitimacy. This study examines how the el-Sisi regime seeks to control civil society and sustain its legitimacy. It analyzes key initiatives such as the NGO law, the National Dialogue designed to supplant the role of civil society, and programs like Haya Karima.
