Jordan in Transition

From Hussein to Abdullah

Edición de la obra Jordan in Transition

"Jordan has long been regarded as a pivotal country in the Middle East, one whose policy choices carry strong implications for regional stability. Jordan in Transition offers an analysis of the country's domestic and international politics.". "Ryan argues that there have been four dramatic tensions in Jordan's recent past: ambitious economic restructuring, efforts toward political liberalization, realignments in foreign relations (culminating in the 1994 peace agreement with Israel), and the succession of King Abdullah II. Exploring these transitions, and how each in turn affects the others, he provides a major contribution to our understanding of Jordan."--BOOK JACKET.
