Political Finance Systems in Egypt, Regulation and Disclosure: The Way Out

This paper was presented at the International Anti-Corruption Conference in Athens, Greece in November 2008. In this paper, Al-Mashat discusses political finance in Egypt: its sources, distribution, rules of disbursement, whether it is based on political corruption and how much transparency there is in handling state funds. He also explores the socio-political context in which funds operate using the 2005, 2007 and 2008 elections as case studies.
