Reviews
Robert Springborg, author of Egypt:
This accessible account makes a convincing case that Egypt’s modern state evolved through interactions with external powers and the country’s domestic society and economy, thereby correcting overly state-centric views of development not just in Egypt but elsewhere.

Mona El-Ghobashy, author of Bread and Freedom: Egypt's Revolutionary Situation:
To get a handle on Egypt’s politics, we have to know about its many players. This is the refreshing premise of Lumbering State, Restless Society. In its deft use of contrasts and comparisons, the book is a major contribution to understanding not only Egypt but also politics more generally.
Michele Dunne, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace:
By highlighting the shifting roles of the state versus the regime, Brown, Hatab, and Adly offer a fresh way to understand modern Egyptian politics, including the momentous changes since 2011. The analysis of the roles of the private sector and the military in the economy is sophisticated and compelling.
