I am not sure N. Korea is a good model here. I think Egypt is slowly moving toward an Algerian style of competitive/electoral authoritarianism. The only question is: Would the military in Egypt succeed in pulling this off as the military in Algeria did without having access to oil rent that Algeria has access to? In other words, without a the financial resources of Algeria, could the Egyptian military succeed?
