  Religion, Democracy and the Challenge of the Arab Spring

  Ian A. Morrison

  The focus of the chapter is an exposition and critique of early Western reactions to the Arab Spring. As evident in the coverage of the uprisings within the Anglo-American media, the anxiety often provoked by these uprisings and the subsequent attempts at democratization is a result of a perception that 'the democratic face of the revolutions may serve to his its "true" Islamist nature or... the masses, unable or unwilling to recognize the distinction between religious and political spheres, will hijack the fledgling democracies by electing Islamist governments' (Morrison 2014: 328). As such, the dilemma that is posed by the plurality of Western reactions is whether democratization, through permitting the election of groups with anti-democratic agendas, will lead to an opening for, or a closure of, democracy. The Arab Spring is an event for which a response is demanded from all of us who wish to be invested in questions of politics, democracy and religion. As such, we need to ask: how do we orient ourselves towards these events? How do we develop a politico-ethical response to the election (or potential election) or Islamist governments? Or, in basic terms, how do respond to the Arab Spring?

  Affordable Housing Policies in Egypt after the 2011 Revolution: More of the Same?

  David Sims

  Egypt is a country of its people. What has been the effect on its inhabitants of the 2011 revolution and subsequent developments? In 2013, a conference held under the auspices of Cairo Papers in Social Science examined this issue from the points of view of anthropologists, historians, political scientists, psychologists, and urban planners. The papers collected here reveal the strategies that various actors employed in this situation.

  Development of a hybrid solar power management unit for mobile platforms

  Ahmed A. Abdelmoaty, Amr Helmy, and Yehea Ismail

  A hybrid power management unit was developed to interface photovoltaic energy to loads, and meeting its challenges such as variation of power, unregulated voltage and limited power, the unit implements a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) to maximize the output power under environmental variations. The power management system proposed applies photovoltaic harvested energy effectively to mobile devices. It mainly consists of an MPPT block and a Power Distribution Control Unit (PDCU). Different cases of operation exist depending on the availability of power, load needs, and battery state of charge. Analysis and simulation results are provided to demonstrate system functionality and sensitivity.
