Part IX
By product of open-door
policy
On the surface, the term
“openness” may appear
appealing; in essence, however,
it embodies numerous problems.
By the time, Egypt adopted
the “open-door policy,” many
gullible quarters entertained the
belief that such a policy would
“attract foreign investment and
provide impetus to economic
growth, besides creating better
prospects for political forces
and individuals.” But in actual
fact, the policy led to acute
socio-economic collapse. In
other words, time provided that
the ultimate objective of the
externally-imposed policy was to
paralyze national economy. What
about the social consequences of
the so-called “openness”?
The establishment of national
government is essentially aimed
at coordinating and leading all round
endeavours towards nation building.
It is thus imperative
that the realization of this goal
demands the establishment of a
strong national government that
promotes the socio-economic
wellbeing of the people,
guarantees national unity,
ensures equitable development,
upholds the rights of citizens and
gives priority to national interest,
as well as one that pursues
independent path. Hence, a policy
that is driven by international
financial institutions is designed
to undermine the government’s
role from the aforementioned
prerequisites, and thereby expose
nations and their resources to
local and external forces of
