This article puts forward a well-established, yet currently under-researched third issue: compliance with IMF conditions. We analyse the implementation of IMF programmes in two recent cases, Egypt and Tunisia between 2016 and 2020. In contrast to the IMF, which portrayed the Egyptian authoritarian regime as top reformer, while criticizing Tunisia\u2019s democratically elected government, a systematic analysis of the IMF\u2019s own reports as well as further sources reveals remarkably similar patterns of partial reform implementation in both countries. These similarities, we argue, can be explained best by joint features of the domestic political economies such as the power of domestic veto players (army, business, labour).<\/p>\n<p>You can access the whole article <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/13530194.2025.2473880\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In: British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies, 1\u201318.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3387","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-publication"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The political economy of implementing IMF reforms: evidence from Egypt and Tunisia - EDP Netzwerk<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"In: British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies, 1\u201318.
