But Washington was late to endorse democracy - for decades the United States favored Egypt's rulers over its people. Since 1979, the United States had provided the Egyptian regime with more than 60 billion in aid and immeasurable political support to secure its main interests in the region: Israeli security and strong relations with Persian Gulf oil producers. During the Egyptian uprising, the White House did not promote popular sovereignty but instead backed an 'orderly transition' to one of Mubarak's cronies. Even after protesters derailed that plan, the anti-democratic US-Egyptian alliance continued. Using untapped primary materials, this book helps explain why authoritarianism has persisted in Egypt with American support, even as policy makers claim to encourage democratic change. 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zEgypt 607 $aEgypt$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aEgypt$xForeign relations$y1952- 676 $a327.73062 686 $aPOL040020$2bisacsh 700 $aBrownlee$b Jason$f1974-$01110266 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785521503321 996 $aDemocracy prevention$93819057 997 $aUNINA
