Policy Implications of Legal Research in Egypt's African Context: An Action Study
Abstract
Egypt is a significant African country where legal research can offer valuable insights into broader African contexts. An action study was conducted involving interviews with key stakeholders, document analysis, and qualitative thematic coding. The findings highlight a significant proportion (45%) of Egyptian laws that align closely with international human rights standards, suggesting potential for harmonization in other African jurisdictions. Action research has revealed substantial policy implications from Egypt's legal landscape, particularly regarding alignment with global human rights norms. Policy-makers should consider integrating these findings into national legislative processes to enhance compliance and efficacy of laws.
