How will Egypt deal with its deficit of democracy? How will Islam and islamism influence any future democracy? The Journal of Middle Eastern Politics and Policy (JMEPP), published at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, featured recently a discussion on the topic with Associate Professor of Political Science at Colgate University Dr. Bruce Rutherford and JMEPP Editor Elissa Miller.

According to the podcast description, the two will discuss, “political developments in Egypt since the 2011 revolution, including the current state of political Islam and prospects for democratic change in the country”.
