Résumé anglais |
The term globalization attempts to capture the complexity of a contemporary word which projects itself at a new scale and in many different ways. This renders the conceptual formulation of the expression difficult. In Egypt, globalization results from the opening up of the economy over the last decade, putting the country into contact with the 'world system', despite its position on the margins of the world's integrated economies. From a geographical perspective, this contact has renewed spatial tensions within society in the form of a false paradox : the emergence of new spatial developments in Egypt has reinforced the importance of Cairo's centralřly, the city representing a privileged interface between the country and the rest of the world.
