The European Union should do away with its “narrow approach of working with Egypt only on areas of mutual interest,” Yasser El-Shimy and Anthony Dworkin write in a policy brief for the European Council on Foreign Affairs. They say the EU “should also promote the rule of law, economic opportunities, more effective security, and political rights in Egypt. To do so, the EU should prioritise Egypt’s socio-economic development, refocusing the counter-terrorism debate, and limiting the worst excesses of the political crackdown.” This is how the EU can avoid “another crisis” in Egypt.
