Egyptian women played an integral and important role in the 2011 Egyptian Revolution. Egypt witnessed different forms of struggles and fights over power since January 25, 2011. The last decade can be understood as episodes of contention. Women played vital roles in each of these episodes. Both the complexity and dynamics of the different roles played by women problematized the various conceptual frameworks that are usually used in analyzing Egyptian women’s various forms of activism. Resultantly, this dissertation suggests a new analytical framework that can be applied to understand Egyptian women’s struggles and ways of expressing their agency. The theory of intersectionality by Collins and Bilge was used to analyze six documentaries produced by either female filmmakers or focused on women’s struggles and activism after the 2011 Egyptian Revolution. The Triple C Model (Context, Contradictions, and Commonalities) analytical framework could fill the analytical gap in understanding the complex discourses surrounding Egyptian women’s oppression and activism.

This study investigates the phenomenon of ethnic interest groups as domestic sources of influence on the making of foreign policy on a cross-national basis. The attempt is made first to develop a framework for comparing theoretically the role of ethnic groups in various governmental systems. Once completed, the various conceptual assumptions are applied to the activities of domestic ethnic interest groups in the United States and Canada concerned with policy for the Middle East and the Arab-Israel conflict. The focus is primarily on the American and Canadian pro-Israel lobbies during the period between October 1973 and September 1982. Data for domestic Arab ethnic constituencies are also considered where relevant, but more as logical counter-points to the North American Jewish communities than as bases for full and complete cross-ethnic comparison. The principal objective of this study is to compare the political influence of two interest groups of the same faith and fundamental purpose but of different systems of government and political cultures.

Throughout the decade that followed Muhammad’s migration from Mecca to Medina, in 622 AD, the tribes that were dispersed in the Arab peninsula became consolidated, thanks to great religious fervor, into a great nation. During the Middle Ages, Arab science gained a strong position in the Arabic language, the language in which the Quran was revealed to Muhammad. Different from existing religions, Islam needed to resort to science to profess its faith and for that purpose, when Greek and works from other civilizations became available, they were translated into Arabic so they could be used to enhance the faith of the Muslin citizen. / A ascensão e o declínio do Império árabe constituem um dos episódios mais notáveis da história. Na década que se seguiu à fuga de Maomé de Meca para Medina em 622 d. C., as tribos dispersas da península da Arábia se consolidaram, mercê de um grande fervor religioso, numa poderosa nação. No período da idade média a ciência árabe se ascendeu com toda força na língua árabe, a língua que o Alcorão foi revelado a Maomé. Ao contrário das religiões que existiam, o Islã precisou avançar na ciência para poderem professar a sua fé. E para isso, quando tiveram a oportunidade de ter nas mãos obras gregas e de outas civilizações, fizeram as traduções para o árabe para que servisse o seu uso para a fé do cidadão muçulmano.
