چکیده:
The principal objective of this paper is to describe and analyze the process of democ-ratization in the Egypt after Mubarak regime. The article continues to give an overview over the current situation inside Egypt after the revolution and collects some evidence for a changed rela-tionship between democracy and stability inside the country. The Egyptian revolution created a situation of transition, which is by definition a period of instability and limited prediction. This is a crucial issue because the direction and orientation of a deep societal democratization pro-cess are still unclear.

Egypt’s political history poses the greatest impediment to Egypt pursuing a democratic form of gov- ernance because of its numerous cycles of authoritarian rule.
The April youth movement and Downfall of Mubarak Regime The April 6 Movement is a small group of secular Egyptian students who organized and led the revolution in Egypt overthrowing Mubarak in a matter of 18 days (Egypt’s Fa- cebook Faceoff, PBS, February 22, 2011).
Haass (2011) also notes that while some protestors in Egypt want complete democracy, the ma- jority of Egyptians simply want a less corrupt government, greater ability to participate in politics, and a better economy than that of the overthrown regime.
As previously men- tioned, younger leaders’ values include ac- countability, transparency, tolerance, and rule of laws as part of establish a new government of sorts in Egypt (Cook, 2011).
Discussion about a Democratic Egypt Generally, thought-of hindrances to establish- ing a democracy in Egypt as well as the Mid- dle East as a whole include, but are not lim- ited to deep roots of authoritarianism, lack of a civil society, and lack of Islamic political thought of what “citizenship” is or means (Lewis,2011).
Lewis (2011) suggests that items that could help with establishing a democracy in the Middle East as well as Egypt include the following: consensual, contractual and lim- ited government; traditional refusal of des- potism; permitting consultation; and usage of modern communications and its technology.
