Ultimately, what you need to study is the neoliberal modus operandi of corporate power; more than the particular characteristics of the society that falls victim to it.
Some countries are more susceptible than others, just as some people are more susceptible to cancer than others, but cancer works the same way in anyone who has it.
Whether you are talking about Egypt, or Myanmar, or Sri Lanka, Guatemala, or anywhere else; the modus operandi follows a fairly strict pattern and makes it relatively straightforward to predict what will unfold in the near to mid-term future.
Knowledge of the specific society is useful, of course, just as knowledge of a patient’s particular lifestyle, history, and related health issues are useful for a doctor to know when making his or her diagnosis and prognosis; but this knowledge is primarily relevant for understanding specifically how a cancer will develop; or in this case, how exactly corporate power will proceed in pursuit of its standard agenda.
