Egypt’s Constitutional Amendments

Egypt’s upcoming public referendum vote on extensive constitutional amendments has sparked a political battle between President Mubarak’s government and Egypt’s largest opposition movement, the Muslim Brotherhood. Carnegie experts have released new analyses on the amendments and their potential impact. Amr Hamzawy analyzes the overall implications of the referendum for democratic reform, while Nathan J. Brown and Michele Dunne provide a textual analysis of the amendments. Also available is an appendix with the full text of the proposed amendments in Arabic and translated excerpts in English.
