Abstract
Tracing the declining trajectory of Egyptian revolutionary mobilization following the Eighteen Days, Chapter 5 of The Rise of the Masses draws particular attention to two complementary explanations for this decline. The first explanation concerns the Egyptian revolutionary movement’s notable organizational deficits. The second explanation concerns the actions of the hundreds of thousands who flocked to Tahrir from beyond such movements, their affinity to the revolutionary cause, and the cessation of the convergence conditions that brought them there. This chapter explains how and why revolutionaries were unable to capitalize on Egypt’s revolutionary period and build an effective mobilizing apparatus, as well as how established organizations shifted their focus away from revolutionary change and toward institutional politics shortly after Mubarak’s downfall. The chapter also details how Egyptians’ affinities for revolutionary mobilization came undone, and how the conditions of convergence that supported their participation were thwarted by a variety of factors, laying the foundations for demobilization, repression, and counterrevolution.
