Moreover,while domestic politics is often a guide to explain the military coups,understanding the external causes of Egyptian case is significant seeing thebig picture. The theory shows Egypt is the central and main power for the Arabregion. If politics is a game, one of the most effective stones of this game isEgypt. All the coup and destructive initiatives in Egypt have supported by theWest are the product of great efforts to transform freedom into captivity. This research will focus on atheory that shifts our view on geopolitics from the western perspective toother side and the competence of this theory in explaining the 2013 militarycoup.
