Assessment of the Role of Egypt’s 2015 Parliament in Promoting Democracy and Good Governance
Journal Title: International Journal of Political Science, Law and International Relations (IJPSLIR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Democracy and good governance are no longer a luxury; however, they are essential for sustainable development. Parliaments are the imperative foundations of democracy and good governance. Authorities and functions of parliament are ordinarily laid down in the constitution or in parliamentary by-laws of every state. For establishing and consolidating democracy and good governance, parliament is supposed to perform three major functions,sufficient representation,legislation, and oversight in a transparent and responsible manner.This research argues that, although Egypt‘s 2014 constitution laid down the roles and authorities of House of Representatives, after the first legislative session 2015/2016, Egyptians feel that it wasn’t able to assume the laid down roles and hence appeared to be no more than a completion of the democratic form without realistically promoting democracy and good governance. The researcher uses a quantitative research method to clarify the argument.
