Public attitudes on peace with Israel in Jordanian politics
Twenty-five years after the Jordanian-Israeli peace treaty hopes for a warm process of normalization and the development of a ‘New Middle East’ based on trade and trust died long ago. The peace tre

Protests by the young and digitally restless
Inspired by the recent wave of global protests, this paper seeks to empirically investigate the role and interaction of a burgeoning young population and the penetration of information and communications technology (ICT) in explaining the onset and diffusion of anti-government demonstrations. Employing a cross-national global analysis between the years 1995 and 2011, we find that youth bulges and ICT affect protest activities in a more complicate…
Monarchies and Protests in the Arab Uprisings
This article places the “monarchy-republic gap” into a larger theoretical context of shifting paradigms of research to explain why monarchies in the Gulf faced fewer protests than other regimes in the Middle East in 2011. In so doing this article synthesizes the New Institutionalism focus on stability with the emphasis of social movement theory on changing patterns of political contention in order to reconceptualize the notion of regime in a way …
Rethinking the Monarchy–Republic Gap in the Middle East
In the wake of the ongoing Arab Spring, one of the many themes that garnered attention by scholars and policy analysts is the empirical fact that, of the autocratic regimes that have been overthrow
Rules and Tools of Succession in the Gulf Monarchies
This article surveys recent events and literature on succession in the six Arab Gulf monarchies, synthesizing the varied country experiences into a new thematic interpretation. It argues that succession rules are increasingly being enshrined in textual — if not constitutional — institutional architectures. The rationalization of succession mechanisms speaks to the growing institutionalization of monarchical rule. There is also a growing influence…
Arab Muslim Attitudes Toward the West
We utilize pooled data from Zogby International's 2002 Zogby, James. 2002. What Arabs Think: Values Beliefs and Concerns, Utica NY: Zogby International. [Google Scholar] Arab Values Survey (carried out in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Kuwait, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and UAE) in order to test for “cultural,” “social” and/or international “political” influences on Arab Muslim attitudes toward “Western” countries (Canada, France, Germany, UK, and USA). We …
Determinants of Arab Public Opinion on Foreign Relations
Using Zogby International polling data from seven different Arab nations (Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates) this paper offers a societal-level quantitative analysis (N=91 dyads) of the determinants of Arab public opinion toward 13 different non-Arab countries (Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Iran, Israel, Japan, Pakistan, Russia, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States). We first…
Institutions and the Politics of Survival in Jordan
Jordan
Many would count Jordanian-Israeli normalization among the victims of the new intifada. Three factors, however, had brought about the death of normalization in Jordan well before October 2000: Israeli intransigence, a regime crackdown on the opposition, and the failure of economic benefits to buy popular support. King Abdullah has inherited a situation where he has turned towards the US rather than Israel as his major foreign policy partner

Normalization' and 'Anti-Normalization' in Jordan
Deliberalization in Jordan
In 1989, with the first Palestinian intifada (uprising) raging just across the Jordan River in the West Bank, domestic discontent spilling into his own streets, and his country's finances in tatters, Jordan's King Hussein (r. 1953-99) began taking a series of extraordinary steps toward political opening. He ended repression, called new elections to replace the National Assembly that he had dissolved in 1988, and forged a national pact that put Jo…
