The paper also seeks to highlight the extent to which state institutions in Egypt are catching up with the global trends of governance and organizational modernization through presenting a set of international indicators of Egypt's political, and socioeconomic performance starting 2014. The author's proposition is that a new comprehensive political framework is needed to push the current restructuring plans and create public backup for the ongoing administrative and economic reform measures to succeed. The author also argues that state fragility is purely a political question, not a technocratic issue, that needs to be primarily addressed in order for other reform programs, both economic and social, to show effective and concrete results. Statistical information used is mainly compiled from secondary sources, including governmental and international reports.
