Media coverage of climate change in Jordan
Instrumentalizing crisis as capital
This article introduces the concept of ‘eco-humanitarian rentierism’ to explain how states facing intersecting crises of climate change and forced displacement strategically mobilize crisis narratives to extract external resources. Building on theories of rentierism, migration diplomacy and environmental politics, it argues that states convert ecological and humanitarian risk into geopolitical, economic and symbolic capital by aligning with donor…
Constructing climate change rentierism in Jordan
Jordan is exceptionally vulnerable to climate change and has limited adaptive capacities. It is also a non-democratic state with an ubiquitous role for the monarchy that results in narratives that seek to promote the regime’s stability by securing external support in the form of ‘rents’. In this paper we examine how the government ‘rents out’ Jordan’s stability and its engagement with climate change initiatives to the international community thro…
Responding to Climate Change in Jordan
Jordan is one of the world's most resource-poor, arid and freshwater-stressed countries with climate change aggravating these challenges further. We argue that due to Jordan's climate change vulnerability and low levels of resilience, as well as its vital role in Middle Eastern politics, it is necessary to examine how climate change policies are approached in the kingdom. Based on a thematic analysis of official climate change policy documentatio…
Transport Infrastructure and Regional Integration in the Middle East
The soft aspects of the infrastructure of regionalism in the Middle East have previously been studied, while the impact of the region’s hard infrastructure, in particular transport infrastructure, has received little attention. This paper contributes to the study of regionalism in the Middle East by investigating the relationship between hard infrastructure and economic integration. It analyzes whether the state of domestic and cross‐border trans…
Food insecurity coping strategies in conflict-affected Libya
This article explored whether there were lessons to be learnt for food security assessment and interventions by studying household food insecurity coping strategies in conflict contexts. Data were collected using 55 in-depth interviews during 2016–2017 from three regions in Libya – a country affected by protracted conflicts since 2011. Thematic analyses revealed eight major categories of coping strategies, some of which resembled those reported i…

Economic Integration and Security in the Middle East and North Africa
Since the late 1980s governments in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) have created commercial institutions in order to promote regional economic integration. The primary aim of this policy has been regarded as the promotion of economic welfare gains at the national level. The second, albeit less-emphasized goal, has been to promote regional peace through economic interdependence. This study examines the prospects for a liberal peace in the …
Explaining the behaviour of small states
Conventional analyses claim that small states bandwagon with leading international powers. The dominant view is that small states’ vulnerabilities and limited power hinders their ability to pursue policy goals. This study critiques this position by investigating why and how Jordan continues to pursue a nuclear energy programme despite objections from the United States – its principle ally. By using theories of small states, this study analyses di…
Interests, Trust and Security in US–Jordanian Nuclear Relations
This article explores the relationship between Jordan and the United States (US) in the field of nuclear energy cooperation. Since 2010 the Jordanian government has accelerated its plans for a nuclear energy program and has engaged with multiple partners around the world in order to agree terms for cooperation in technology exchange, monitoring, and the construction of infrastructure. Bilateral negotiations between the US and Jordan for a “123” n…
An Introduction to International Relations Theory
This long-awaited new edition has been fully updated and revised by the original authors as well as two new members of the author team. Based on many years of active research and teaching it takes the discipline's most difficult aspects and makes them accessible and interesting.

Freshwater Security, Conflict, and Cooperation
This study examines the challenge of freshwater security faced by Israel, Jordan, and Palestine, and mechanisms for multilateral collaboration that have been developed in order to create a Red Sea–Dead Sea conduit. This article outlines the proposed conduit as a major collaborative project which hinges on the engagement of both state and non-state stakeholders. The argument presented here is that the feasibility and planning process has so far be…
