Since the publication of the first edition, substantial changes
have occurred in the political landscape of Jordan and the Middle
East. King Abdullah II has cemented his rule amidst an onslaught of
threats which have faced his kingdom since he succeeded his father
in 1999. The Syrian civil war has fundamentally shifted the
political context of its neighbouring countries, with Jordan
experiencing a huge population explosion as people moved across the
border from Syria. This second edition of Robins' accessible and
succinct survey of Jordanian political history is an account of a
century of events within a country whose fortunes are closely
identified with its heads of state. Beginning in the early 1920s in
the Mandate years, and now benefiting from new material on the rise
of the Muslim Brotherhood, attempts at democratisation, the
collapse of the economy, the Jordan Spring and refugee crisis, this
new edition featuring original research brings Jordan's political
history into the twenty-first century.
