Abstract: It has been claimed that Turkey and Egypt possess a similar pattern of interest representation in which the earlier state-corporatism has been giving way to a more variegated form of corporatism. However, the seemingly similar structure of post state-corporatist system in both countries displays explicit differences given the distinguished and disaggregated stages of their transitional regime types. Namely, the representational dualism in which preexisting corporatism coexists with resurgent pluralism in post-Kemalist Turkey and post-Nasserist Egypt, does not share much similarity. Although both Turkey and Egypt have not reached the stage of liberal democracy or consolidated democracy, the former is classified as ambiguous regime moving toward electoral democracy while the latter is distinctively categorized as electoral authoritarian regime, typical pseudo democracy.
