Mohamed Saad

I hold a PhD in Political Science from Charles University in Prague, where my research focused on Islamist movements, resource mobilization, and democratization in the Arab world. I also earned a Master’s degree in International Security Studies from the same institution.

I have authored two books: Mamluks and Generals: A Study on the Genealogy of Military Rule in Egypt (Ethics International Press, 2025), which examines the historical roots of military dominance in Egypt and its persistence in modern governance, and Conditional Inclusion: Resource Distribution and Islamist Moderation During the Arab Uprisings (Ethics Press, 2024), which analyzes the relationship between state resources and Islamist movements’ political behavior.

My research has been published in academic journals such as the Journal of Strategic and Military Studies and Digest of the Middle East Studies, where I have explored topics ranging from US-Iran deterrence dynamics to counterinsurgency in Sinai. Additionally, I contribute political analyses to media outlets such as Almanassa and Raseef22, focusing on military conflicts, Islamist movements, and geopolitical shifts in the Middle East and Africa.

With a specialization in military and security affairs, my work dissects the intersection of armed conflict, regional power struggles, and international interventions, including in Sudan.
