Compare and contrast the political developments that occurred in Egypt under the leadership of Sadat and Mubarak.

Candidates will give an account of the similarities and differences between Sadat and Mubarak in terms of political developments that occurred under their leadership, referring to both leaders throughout. Candidates may refer to economic and social developments as a consequence, but the main focus should be on political developments. Candidates may refer to their attitudes towards democratic rule; the ideological direction of their policies; their policies with respect to opposition groups; the area of focus of their policies, for example, economic versus military/diplomatic; the degree of authoritarian control they exercised; the direction of their foreign policies. Both similarities and differences must be clearly indicated but there does not need to be an equal number of each.
