Abstract: When Jamāl cAbdannāṣir died, the Egyptian regime lost its solid stabilization element. His personal charisma provided the regime with the greatest support. His unexpected death on 28 September 1970 opened up a period of uncertainty, as the new era was marked by a creeping retreat from the fundamental pillars of Egypt’s domestic and foreign policy at the time. In order to understand the nature of the goals, means and style of the policy of his successor Anwar as-Sādāt, it is necessary to focus on his perception of international and regional politics, including for example, the moves of the superpowers towards dètente, the military balance between Israel and the Arab countries; and competition within the Arab world. Anwar as-Sādāt created his own methods of manipulating the constraints on Egypt and using his capabilities in developing foreign policy at the local, regional andglobal levels.
