Abstract

This study aimed to pursue two main objectives, i.e., understanding the effect of new developments in Egypt in a post-revolution era, which had affected the United States’ hegemony, and explored how the United States had attempted to maintain its hegemony in Egypt. Having conducted a comprehensive analysis of academic documents, and ethnic, academic, and administrative elites, two main conclusions were drawn. Firstly, it was understood that the recent developments in Egypt had affected the United States hegemony in Egypt, and secondly, the United States had been able to cope with the new conditions and maintained its hegemony in Egypt.
