Peacebuilding as developmentalism: Concepts from disaster research

By intervening in the 2011 Revolution and moving to assert control over state and society during the subsequent transitional period, the Egyptian military became visible again not just as a defense institution and coercive apparatus operating in domestic space, but as a regional and international actor.
