dc.description.abstract | Democracy and human rights over the years have become essential in many countries
around the world due to their impacts on development. The study was focused on the
role of democracy and human rights in development. The broad objective of this study
was to investigate the role of democratic governance and human rights in
development in Egypt. The study was guided by the normative democratic theory
which states that all citizens ought to have the broadest set of political rights and
liberties possible, compatible with the extension of equal rights to all. The study relied
on qualitative methods of data collection. Survey research methods (personal
interviews and questionnaires) were limited because of challenges related to access,
and time. Secondary data therefore formed the core data collection. The study found
out that human rights and democracy contribute to the development in Egypt because
the crisis started from the first revolution against Hosni Mubarak and then to the
recent one that ousted Mohammed Morsi, there have been negative impacts on the
Egyptian economy. There has been increased rates of unemployment, decline in the
tourism sector which has led to the decline in the country’s foreign exchange reserves.
In addition, foreign investment which depends on prevailing peace, security and
political stability has been adversely affected. Had there been democracy and respect
to human rights in Egypt, probably this would not be happening. The study
hypotheses have been proven in that the findings indicate that the current crisis has
had negative effects on the economic development of Egypt. The country has also
been recently suspended from the African Union until it resolves this crisis. | en |
