Abstract: The article is devoted to Egypt and the Middle East, where the author comments on democratic processes.

Over the past 30 years, one-party systems in Arab countries have been replaced by multi-party systems. This process began in Egypt in 1976 when the Arab Socialist Union split into three groups.

Later, in the late 1990s, Egypt established an electoral system that favored the candidate of the ruling party under the provisions of the Electoral Law. This was related to the constant inclusion of changes in the powers of the head of state in the constitution.

Although Egypt is officially considered a republic, we consider it a modern appearance of a parliamentary monarchy. Because the infinite government of the political leader unites the functions of the party leader and the head of state in the form of a person.

We can see the threats to western reconstruction in Egypt from the events of 2011-2013. As a result of this “Western democracy” we have witnessed that Islamic radical forces and the crisis have entered into the crisis. In general, the article is widely covered in Egypt that the developments of democratic and civil society development and sharply different from Western understanding.
