Bruce K. Rutherford is assistant professor of political science at Colgate University.

A fascinating and timely book... [Rutherford] details the long and persistent struggle of the judiciary to carve out an independent role for itself, even under a military dictatorship. -- Fareed Zakaria Time [Readers will] be rewarded by Rutherford's ambitious effort to explain how significant political actors, specifically, the Muslim Brotherhood, the judiciary, and the business sector, can work in parallel, if not exactly together, to influence the country's trajectory over time. This is a novel approach to analyzing Egyptian politics. -- Steven A. Cook Foreign Affairs Bruce Rutherford thoroughly analyzes the dynamics and personalities of Egyptian politics and the prospects for Egypt once its pro-Western president, Hosni Mubarak, passes on. -- Sheldon Kirschner Canadian Jewish News [Egypt after Mubarak] clearly offers both an insightful account of Egyptian politics and a potentially fruitful framework for future comparative research on political change in the Arab world. -- Waleed Hazbun Perspectives on Politics The author defends his position through a meticulous and detailed analysis of related first- and second-hand sources. The high level of detail makes the book especially attractive to readers who are familiar with modern Egyptian history and politics, and readers will find invaluable information and debates regarding the dynamic history of Egypt's legal, political and economic institutions. -- Burak Ozcetin Political Studies Review
