Egypt’s Foreign Policy: Post-Western and Pan-Islamic

February 2012

Abstract

The foreign relations agendas of the majority of the parties that won seats in the Egyptian lower house of parliament are indicative of the new course that the country might be taking in the international arena in the longer term. While the EU and the US are preoccupied with Egypt´s attitude towards them, other countries are entering the competition for privileged relations with the transforming Egypt. The article explores what would be the new Egyptian foreign policy direction.
