Considering historical developments, this article discusses the conditions that have impeded Egypt’s political actors to lead a democratic transition following the 2011 revolution. In this context, I argue that the failure of Egypt’s major political actors to effect a democratic transition post‐2011 revolution is largely due to the obstruction of Egypt’s actors before the revolution. This argument is based on a historical assessment of Egypt’s political actors’ development and engagement in opposition activities over two periods: post‐1952 military coup and post‐2011 revolution. The article suggests that a democratic transition in post‐revolution countries like Egypt, which did not achieve a decisive victory over authoritarianism, requires strong prodemocracy actors to face antidemocracy actors and lead a democratization process.

埃及2011年革命后的政治演员：为民主而进行的不完整斗争

考虑到历史发展，本文讨论了阻碍埃及政治角色在2011年革命后领导民主过渡的条件。在这种情况下，我认为埃及主要政治角色未能在2011年革命后实现民主过渡的主要原因是革命前埃及角色的阻挠。该论点基于对埃及政治角色在两个时期内的发展和参与反对派活动的历史评估：1952年后的军事政变和2011年后的革命。该文章认为，在埃及等革命后国家中，民主制过渡并未取得对威权主义的决定性胜利，它要求强大的民主行动者面对反民主行动者并领导民主化进程。
