Local government and the party system in Egypt. After indicating that the 1952 Revolution restored the centralized State and a concentration of powers, the author States that the new rulers of Egypt can but rely on the former State apparatus when it comes to transforming society — social laws, land reforms, planning, social measures. That is why the history of local government is equivalent to a permanent clash with the one party System. Set up in 1960, the System subordinates local government to the national Union and, thereafter, to the Arabic Socialist Union, for the political power attempts to control the executive power at ail levels.
But the System, which is blocked by the omnipresence of the party and overlapping competencies among administrative bodies, has given rise to a “new class” in a context of bureaucracy and of “State capitalism”. And the structural reform of governorates in 1971, following the party reform of 1968, has but contributed to strengthening administration since “local parliamentarism” does not work in favour of The Party. After the “economic opening”, the “new class” looked after its consecration by the 1975 reform of local administration. Presented as a new step to democratization in Egypt, — local councils are elected through direct universal suffrage — this important reform mainly translates into reality, according to the author, the waning of The Party, the acknowledgement of local governments economic and social role, the predominance of the governor, and finally, the victory of local government over the Party.
