Description: Bringing to light the often overlooked effect of workers' collective actions in shaping public policy, Labor and the State in Egypt surveys the relationships of workers and trade unions to the state in Egypt. A significant contribution to the scholarship on economic and political reform in developing countries, Labor and the State in Egypt is a major account of the significance of social forces in shaping economic development, even when those forces are separated from partisan political participation.
