This insightful study explores how a small state with limited
economic resources has played an important role in vital, ongoing
Middle Eastern political and security controversies. Global
Security Watch—Jordan provides readers with an expert,
comprehensive overview of significant aspects of Jordan's security,
including its political, diplomatic, and alliance-building
dimensions. Examining how Jordan emerged from a small Arab kingdom
with arbitrary borders and no clear national identity to a
confident and modernizing state, the book shows how today's nation
effectively copes with a variety of geopolitical challenges.
Jordan's close relations with the United States are examined, with
special attention paid to ongoing U.S.-Jordanian cooperation in
fighting al-Qaeda and its terrorist allies. The work also probes
Jordan's involvement in many of the great conflicts in the
contemporary Middle East, for example, that between the Israelis
and Palestinians, clarifying Jordanian policies, while helping the
reader understand many of the regional problems Jordan finds itself
forced to address.
