The problem with which this paper is concerned is that of examining the role that the Egyptian Banking System had to assume during the transition period, 1952 - 1964. This paper is divided in four parts; the first part is an introduction and it is composed of Chapter I. Part two is a brief survey of the economic and monetary developments in Egypt during this transition period and it is composed of Chapters II and III. Part three examines the reconstruction of the banking system and it is composed of Chapters IV and V. Part four presents a conclusion and some implications for other developing countries. The Egyptian experience's lack of success was due to non-realistic and uncoordinated planning.

This study analyzes the impact of the political changes on labor unions in Egypt in the period from 1960 to 1967. In 1960-1961 Egypt became a socialist country with one political party, the Arab Socialist Union. As a result of that development in the political arena, a wave of socialist laws were introduced by the government, affecting not only the labor unions' traditional functions, but also the industrial relations system in general. The study came to the following conclusions. 1. The role of the labor unions in the industrial relations system and especially in formulating the socialist laws was minimized in Egypt in the 1960-1967 period. 2. From an economic point of view, the socialist laws in the 1960-1967 period had restrained economic development process by reducing savings, not supplying the economy with skilled productive workers, causing inflation, and the wage structure did not work as an incentive system to stimulate productivity. 3. The socialist laws did not achieve any of their expected objectives partly because no one except the government was involved in these laws' formulation and implementation. 4. Except for the small increase in wages, the average worker did not achieve any tangible benefits that could improve his economic and social status. 5. The existence of political control over labor unions and over the industrial relations system will continue and persist as long as labor unions do not have effective leadership and as long as there is no political opposition to the government.

Thesis (MPhil (Ancient Studies)--University of Stellenbosch, 2008. / The geographical location of Punt has been the subject of much scholarly controversy for years. Numerous locations have been provided, favouring either regions in southern Arabia or East Africa. The latter being the more accepted theory in this case. Locating the region of Punt is linked to the foreign trade relations of Egypt during the Dynastic period. The practices that governed the Egyptian economy and thus its trade relations are studied, along with textual translations and visual sources in order to determine the kind of contact Egypt had with Punt, the trade relations between these two regions and the commodities they traded. These things determine the landscape that Puntites traversed, providing a profile of their habitat, the people that lived in it and thus a possible location for the region, which is believed to encompass the Gash Delta, on the borders of modern day Eritrea, Ethiopia and Sudan.

<p align="justify">62 ostraca grecs (documents écrits sur tessons de céramique), conservés depuis 1910 à la Bibliothèque Nationale et Universitaire de Strasbourg (France), sont ici édités pour la première fois. Il s'agit essentiellement de reçus d'impôts, qui proviennent de Thèbes (Haute-Egypte) et datent du Haut-Empire romain, en particulier du IIe s. apr. J.-C. La présentation met en évidence un phénomène bien connu en papyrologie, mais qui n'avait guère été exploité pour ce type de textes: les contribuables, en conservant ces documents pour un éventuel contrôle, se constituaient de modestes archives privées. Celles-ci ont parfois été retrouvées telles quelles, puis dispersées sur la marché des antiquités: il convient donc, autant que possible, de les reconstituer dans la publication, de sorte que 27 ostraca conservés dans d'autres collections (Royal Ontario Museum; Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana; Sorbonne) mais apparentés aux nouveaux documents de Strasbourg, sont republiés ici.</p> <p><p><p align="justify">Les dossiers ainsi réunis permettent diverses recherches sur le système de taxation complexe mis en place à l'époque romaine (impôts capitaires, fonciers et autres) et sur l'organisation de la perception et ses variations dans le temps et, surtout, selon les sites. Ils éclairent également la topographie de Thèbes, du point de vue administratif, à cette époque. Une petite moitié des textes publiés ici, dont plusieurs sont bilingues, constituent les archives d'une famille de prêtres, dont un stoliste d'Apollon (Montou) et Asklèpios (Imhotep); ils apportent ainsi un témoignage important sur le milieu où se maintint le plus longtemps l'usage du démotique: à Thèbes comme ailleurs en Egypte, il apparaît qu'il s'agit du clergé.</p><p> / Doctorat en philosophie et lettres, Orientation langue et littérature / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
