The effects of neoliberalism on poverty in Egypt

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my advisor Dr. Nadine Sika for the continuous support of my MA study and research, for her patience, motivation, enthusiasm, and immense knowledge. Her guidance helped me in all the time of research and writing of this thesis. I could not have imagined having a better advisor and mentor for my MA study. Besides my advisor, I would like to thank the rest of my thesis committee: Dr. Ibrahim Elnur and Dr. Riham Bahi, for their encouragement, insightful comments, and hard questions. In addition, I would like to thank Yomna Amr for her continuous support throughout my MA study. Nobody has been more important to me in the pursuit of this research than the members of my family. I would like to thank my parents, whose love and guidance are with me in whatever I pursue. They are the ultimate role models. Most importantly, I wish to thank my loving and supportive wife, Salma, and my adorable daughter, Nazly, who provide unending inspiration.
