Turkey’s Strategic Expansion in Africa
This study explores Turkey’s strategic expansion across the African continent between 2011 and 2021, with a focused analysis on its engagement in Ethiopia, Libya and Somalia. Anchored in a theoretical framework that blends neoclassical realism, soft and hard power theory, and middle power diplomacy, the research investigates how Turkey has transitioned from a peripheral actor to a proactive regional influencer.

From gold to debt
This paper conducts a comparative analysis of the Spanish Price Revolution (1500–1650) and the United States' post-2008 monetary trajectory to examine how sustained monetary expansion, when decoupled from real productivity growth, can generate long-term structural vulnerabilities. Drawing on the Quantity Theory of Money (QTM), Keynesian and Post-Keynesian critiques, and the political economy of imperial overstretch, the study explores how both im…

The endless reform process
The latest royal committee headed by Samir Al-Rifai to modernize Jordan's political system is often portrayed as a significant step toward political reform. However, this narrative overestimates the committee's impact and overlooks historical limitations and institutional obstacles to reform in Jordan. This study highlights how political reform initiatives in Jordan can be manipulated to serve the regime's objectives rather than the people's will…
Electoral districts’ distribution in Jordan
This study attempts to reveal the impact of distribution inequality of electoral districts on the election outcomes in Jordan. Since 1993 elections, electoral laws and regulations have been adopted that underestimate population density in Jordan, meaning that some regions with lower population densities have obtained more parliamentary seats than regions with high population density, including the governorates of Amman, Irbid and Zarqa. Successiv…
Bahrain's Vision in the New Gulf Order
Given the perception of a US pullback from its commitments in the Middle East, a small state like Bahrain must develop a new vision of how to protect itself. This article analyzes Bahrain's strategy, focusing on three circles. The first, its internal circle, is complicated by the country's heterogeneity. Second, the Gulf circle entails cooperation among Bahrain's neighbors, though that has been historically difficult to achieve. The third circle …
Dam Wars
Water shortages are a global problem; the world is moving fast toward a fresh‐water crisis. Water resources are unevenly and irregularly distributed, and the Middle East is one of the driest regions in the world. Three‐quarters of its land mass is arid, and most water resources originate outside the region. Continuing current practices will plunge the region deeper into crisis, creating conditions where conflicts and wars over scarce resources at…
Muslim brotherhood and the Jordanian state
The Jordanian state was established on both secular and religious conservative principles. The approval of the establishment of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan was on 19 November 1945, and it was consistent with these principles. Until 1989, the relationship between the Muslim Brotherhood and the regime varied between mutual symbiotic relations, based on mutual support between the parties, and hostile and meta-interactions. In 1989, the process …
