This book provides a comprehensive overview of Egypt's foreign policy in times of crisis. It examines the historical roots of Egypt's foreign policy, analyzes the challenges facing the country today, and offers insights into the possible future directions of Egyptian foreign policy.

Chapter 1: The Historical Roots of Egypt's Foreign Policy

Egypt's foreign policy has been shaped by a number of factors, including its geography, history, and culture. Egypt is located at the crossroads of Africa, Asia, and Europe, and has a long history of interaction with different civilizations. This has given Egypt a unique perspective on international affairs and has influenced its foreign policy outlook.

In addition, Egypt's history has played a major role in shaping its foreign policy. Egypt was once a major power in the region and played a leading role in the Arab world. However, Egypt's power declined in recent centuries and the country has been forced to adapt to a new role in the region.

Finally, Egypt's culture has also influenced its foreign policy. Egypt is a Muslim-majority country and this has shaped its approach to international relations. Egypt has a strong commitment to Arab and Islamic solidarity and has often played a leading role in promoting peace and cooperation in the region.

Chapter 2: The Challenges Facing Egypt's Foreign Policy

Egypt faces a number of challenges in the 21st century. These challenges include the Arab Spring, the rise of ISIS, and the ongoing conflict in Yemen.

The Arab Spring was a series of uprisings that began in Tunisia in 2011 and spread to many other Arab countries. The Arab Spring has had a profound impact on Egypt's foreign policy and has forced policymakers to rethink the country's role in the region.

The rise of ISIS is another major challenge facing Egypt. ISIS is a terrorist organization that has seized control of large areas of Iraq and Syria. ISIS poses a threat to Egypt's security and has forced the country to increase its military spending.

The ongoing conflict in Yemen is also a major challenge for Egypt. Egypt is a member of the Saudi-led coalition that is fighting against the Houthi rebels in Yemen. The war in Yemen has created a humanitarian crisis and has destabilized the region.

Chapter 3: The Future of Egypt's Foreign Policy

The future of Egypt's foreign policy is uncertain. The country faces a number of challenges, but it also has a number of opportunities. Egypt has a strong economy and a young population. The country also has a long history of diplomacy and is well-respected in the region.

Egypt's foreign policy will likely be shaped by a number of factors in the years to come. These factors include the outcome of the Arab Spring, the rise of ISIS, and the ongoing conflict in Yemen. Egypt will also need to adapt to the changing global balance of power.

Despite the challenges, Egypt's foreign policy has the potential to be a force for good in the region. Egypt can play a leading role in promoting peace and cooperation and can help to build a more stable and prosperous Middle East.

Egypt's foreign policy is at a crossroads. The country faces a number of challenges, but it also has a number of opportunities. The future of Egypt's foreign policy is uncertain, but the country has the potential to be a force for good in the region.
