Democratic State

Tuesday, June 12, 2007

Egypt held parliamentary elections this week. Does that make it a democracy? Steven Cook, a Douglas Dillon Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and the author of Ruling But Not Governing: The Military and Political Development in Egypt, Algeria, and Turkey (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2007), weighs in and talks about the state of the democracy movement in the Middle East.

Ruling But Not Governing is available for purchase at Amazon.com
