This paper aims to analyze informal institutions in nondemocratic regimes using the example of Egypt’s National Democratic Party (NDP) before 2011. As a platform enabling the creation and replication of patronage networks, the NDP played a central role in the transformation of the Egyptian governing system into a semi-authoritarian or hybrid regime. In the context of reforms liberalizing the Egyptian economic system, the transformation of the regime was accompanied by the rise of crony capitalism, whose central element was the informal institution of clientelism. These transformations contributed to the political liberalization of the 1970s and 1980s, and then to the hybridization of authoritarianism in Egypt before the Arab Spring.
