Drafting
a
categorization
of
Egyptian
political
forces
is
a
complex
but
at
the
same
time
essential
exercise
after
the
25
of
January
Revolution.
This
map
aims
to
fill
a
gap
and
offers
a
first
picture
of
the
Egyptian
political
landscape.
In
the
first
round
of
Parliamentary
Election
(28
November
2011)
there
will
be
26
lists
of
parties/alliances
of
parties,
according
to
the
official
electoral
lists
published
on
November
16th
2011.
Political
parties
have
been
divided
following
4
main
axes:
religion
oriented,
secular,
right
and
left
cleavages.
This
framework
seems
relevant
to
depict
the
Egyptian
situation
since
the
country
has
been
characterized
in
the
last
30
years
by
a
dominant
party
system.
The
former
ruling
party
(NDP)
was
the
privileged
player
in
a
situation
where
official
political
parties
were
subjected
to
restrictive
rules.
The
majority
of
new
parties
received
the
official
authorization
and
a
few
of
them
have
not
formalized
it
but
we
decided
to
insert
them
in
the
map.
The
categorization
has
been
established
by
an
analysis
of
the
programs
of
the
parties
and
by
statements
of
the
party
leaders.

that
played
a

of
"formal

during

previous

but
the
reliability
of
their
effective
existence
is
difficult
to
certify.
