This talk is based on the co-authors' recent paper "How Much Will the Pandemic Change Egyptian Governance and for How Long?" The Egyptian regime has reacted in an unexpected way to the global pandemic—with civilian, technocratic, and expert bodies leading the way and even some (admittedly officially patrolled) political debate being allowed to emerge. This talk examines these recent developments and evaluates whether they mark a real change in Egyptian governance, and if so, why, what kind, and will it last.

Speakers (co-authors):

Amr Hamzawy - Senior Research Scholar @CDDRL, Stanford University

Nathan Brown - Professor of Political Science and International Relations @The George Washington University
