Abstract:While many have noted how the regime of ‘Abd al-Fattah al-Sisi differs from that of Husni Mubarak, scholars have not yet conceptualized these differences’ significance. This article utilizes the literature on authoritarianism to argue that the Mubarak–Sisi transition was an attempt to shift from a provision pact, grounded in an extensive patronage network, to a protection pact in which elites back the regime because it protects them from internal and external threats. This transition is incomplete and, as the protection pact disintegrates, Egypt is left with a fragmented elite and a fractured state that renders the country more difficult to rule.

西西领导下的埃及新威权主义

摘要：尽管许多人已经注意到“阿卜杜勒·法塔赫·西西”政权与侯赛尼·穆巴拉克政权有何不同，但学者们尚未概念化这些分歧的意义。本文利用有关威权主义的文献来论证，穆巴拉克-西西过渡是一种尝试，其目的是从以广泛的赞助网络为基础的一项供养协定转变为一种由精英支持政权的保护协定，因为它可以保护政权不受内部和外部影响威胁。这种过渡是不完全的，随着保护公约的瓦解，埃及只剩下了支离破碎的精英阶层和支离破碎的国家，这使该国更加难以统治。
