Chapter 3 details how the Egyptian regime under President Nasser successfully employed thousands of Egyptian professionals abroad in order to support the developmental needs of a number of Third World countries. The state-administered short-term labour emigration of high-skilled Egyptians, under a revamped policy entitled nizām al-i‘āra li-l-khārij, was the sole exception to an otherwise restrictive emigration strategy. As Egyptian professionals traversed the Arab world, they engaged in anti-colonial, anti-Western, and pro-Nasserite rhetoric. The chapter firstly situates Egypt’s regional emigration policy historically, within the colonial context, in order to underline the heightened developmental needs of the Third World. It continues to account for how the Free Officers regime grasped the opportunity to develop its internationalist ideology, and to sponsor political movements elsewhere in the Arab world, in accordance with the principles of the 1952 Revolution. In order to do so, Egyptian elites expanded, systematised, and politicised Egypt’s policy of secondment, which had existed since the nineteenth century. This allowed the regime to project its ideology across the Arab world in a number of ways, as Egyptians across North Africa, the Levant, and the Arabian Gulf worked towards 'exporting the revolution'.
