Page "Gamal Abdel Nasser" Paragraph 112

Western political scientists claim his largely charismatic and direct relationship with the Egyptian people " rendered intermediary organizations and individuals unnecessary.

" Therefore, because of Nasser's failure to create institutions, Egypt returned to the unstable political state it was in before his coming to power.

Author Mark Cooper states Nasser's legacy was a " guarantee of instability.

" Nasser's failure to democratize Egypt was a major rallying point for his opponents, although his supporters argue that he attempted to lay the groundwork for democracy through various liberalization reforms.

Ultimately, Nasser's efforts failed in this respect, and hope for democracy remained virtually absent in Egypt until the people-led Egyptian revolution of 2011.
