A comparison of Egytian revolutions: 1952 and 2011

States which are structured in Middle East after World War I especially by western powers' ‎intervention has not met basic necessities of people they may wait from governments. ‎Demands such as equality before laws, economic means to live with dignity, political ‎participation did not get any response from governments. These kind of demands for rights ‎came with different forms like revolutions with wide social support, military coups or power ‎struggles inside the ruling elites.‎ In this regard during 1950's there were revolutions and military coups in middle eastern ‎countries, especially Egypt was pioneer throughout the region. Mentioned demands were ‎main motivation of these social events. But generally lead by minor social segments with ‎Arab nationalistic and socialist motives and did not meet people's expectations at the end. At ‎the beginning western powers were very reluctant to approach this revolutionary regimes, ‎then interest base cooperation had established. ‎ People's demands for basic rights and freedoms in the region countries in recent years from ‎‎2011 and onwards increased without any or minor responses from governments, which ‎become insufferable stage. This situation championed social pressures for change. ‎‎"Revolutions" in region's countries and their outcomes again questioned whether it is ‎progress or deterioration like outcomes of 1950's revolts. ‎ In this thesis, revolutions in these two different time period will be comparatively examined, ‎reasons for social revolts underlined and future study proposals offered. Egypt has chosen as ‎a case study, although many countries in the regions go through similar processes, as it is ‎most populated and more influence in the region as whole. This study aims to contribute to ‎the historical comparative studies in international academic discipline as well.‎
