Abstract This paper aims at examining how democratization in post-uprising Egypt remains flawed and the reasons for this failure. As a background, democratization in post-Arab Spring Egypt has collapsed and it seems now merely an illusion. The situation worsened since Egypt’s democratically elected President Morsi was expelled from office through a coup, following mass protests demanding Morsi’s discharge. Egypt’s democratization is hard to achieve due to the shadow of the Pharaoh in Egypt, that is, entrenched ruling elites; Egypt’s democratization process can never succeed while Egypt’s old ruling elites are reluctant to allow this to happen.

后埃及阿拉伯之春的民主化现状

摘要本文旨在探讨起义后埃及的民主化如何仍然存在缺陷以及失败的原因。作为背景，后阿拉伯之春埃及的民主化已经瓦解，现在看来只是一种幻想。自从埃及民主选举产生的总统穆尔西通过政变被驱逐出境以来，情况进一步恶化，此前大规模抗议活动要求穆尔西解雇。由于埃及法老的影子，即根深蒂固的统治精英，埃及的民主化难以实现。埃及的旧统治精英不愿让这种事情发生，因此埃及的民主化进程永远不会成功。
