This article tries to shed light on Import Substitution Industrialization (ISI) in Egypt. The country had witnessed political instability, social changes, and economic hardships. In this regard, those signs are better understood by having a retrospective view into its economic and political history. Egypt drowned in many wars after it got over British Colony. We attempt to analyze political and economic institutions and their role in political economy of the country. Political, international, economic, and institutional context differed with each government and president. This explains the divergence in economic performance. It is argued that some factors such as institutional framework, political and economic ideology, social coalitions, and international financial institutions affected implementation and success of ISI.

Mısır'da İthal Ikameci Sanayileşmenin Ekonomi Politiği (1950-1970)

Öz

Bu makale Mısır'daki İthal İkameci Sanayileşme (ISI) üzerine bir çalışmadır. Mısır'daki siyasi istikrarsızlık, sosyal değişimlere ve ekonomik krizlere sebep oldu. Bu bağlamda, bu işaretler Mısırın ekonomik ve politik tarihine retrospektif bir bakış açısıyla bakıldığında daha iyi anlaşılmaktadır. Mısır İngiliz Kolonisi olmaktan kurtulduktan sonra bir çok savaşla yoruldu ve bunların etkisi hem siyasi hem de ekonomik performansına yansıdı. Hükumetler değiştikçe ekonomik ve politik sistemleri de değişti. Makalede; Kurumsal çerçeve, siyasi ve ekonomik ideoloji, sosyal koalisyonlar ve uluslararası finans kurumları gibi bazı faktörlerin ISI'ın uygulanmasını ve başarısını nasıl etkilediği tartışılmaktadır
