It identifies four areas where policymakers could improve efforts to support reform processes: encourage the Jordanian regime to follow through on reform processes; display consistency in supporting human rights; develop civil and political participation; find opportunities for dialogue with opposition groups. The report is part of a series on Political Islam in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The aim is to deepen understanding of various forms of political Islam, to counter common misconceptions, and to help generate constructive policy responses.1 digital file (19 p.)application/pdfenMIDDLE EASTJORDANDEMOCRATIZATIONPOLITICAL ISLAMCONFLICT RESEARCHELECTORAL SYSTEMSHUMAN RIGHTSPOLITICAL BEHAVIOURISLAMPOLICY MAKINGPOLITICAL REFORMWorking Paper
