Abstract

Jordan offers us a fascinating case study of how modern global political and economic processes interact with local political economy to shape individual states. As a small state by most interpretations, Jordan faces immense structural limitations, yet under King Abdullah II, it has endured, and its political economy has evolved in response to the dynamic set of challenges the country faces. Neoliberal policies have become prevalent in Jordanian decision-making circles and have transformed Jordan’s political economy—but are not particularly popular on the street. However, the story of Jordan’s political economy is one of resilience as much as it is one of challenges, and the kingdom is likely to continue to develop, albeit somewhat unevenly.
