On 17 November 1952, Taqi al Din al Nabhani submitted an applicationto the Jordanian Interior Ministry for permission to establish a newpolitical party: Hizb al Tahrir.' 'Ihis was in accordance with the newconstitution, which permitted party organization provided that every partysubmitted to an official investigation. Soon after its promulgation, severalideologically-based opposition parties sought official permission toorganize openly. Al Nabhhi's application was rejected on the groundsthat the party's platform was incompatible with the constitution. Thislaunched the new party on a collision cotuse, which continues even untilthis day, with the Jordanian authorities.The new party has, as its final goal, the reestablishment of the Islamiccaliphate in one of the Arab countries. In its ideological formulations,program, and stmctmc, it conformed to the pattems of similarity discernibleamong Jordan's new parties? Like the other parties, it reflectedcharacteristics of the btoader trend of modern revolutionary-cum-ideologicalparties that developed throughout the Arab Middle East fromthe 1930s onwards.Broadly speaking, these parties were vehicles through which the newsecular ideologies of nationalism and socialism, radiating from Europeand Sweeping the region, were articulated. These ideologies were ofgrowing appeal to an emerging interwar generation that was disillusionedwith the old order of liberal democratic regimes. By participating in thenew political fields that had developed under these regimes in relation tothe newly established nation-states, this new generation sought to gaincontrol of the state through a revolutionary program that had the creationof a utopian social and political order as its ultimate goal
