It appears that such a situation has many compatibilities with praetorian society considered by Samuel Huntington. Main characteristics of such a society is the confrontation and direct conflict of politicized and belligerent social groups, that reject any kind of negotiation and compromise and don`t accept any agreed-upon procedure or common mechanism to dispute the resolution. Accordingly, the present study, using the conceptual and theoretical framework of Samuel Huntington Praetorianisms, is aimed to explain the political violence in the country after the revolution and also, describe the structural characteristics of Egypt society and the kind of relations and political action of its groups and social forces which try to exclude each other from the politics in Egypt.
