The role of the geopolitical location of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan towards United States (US) foreign policy from 1990 to 2017 is the focus of this study, which addressed the impact of important regional and international political events, positively or negatively, on the development of relations between the two countries in terms of political and security aspects. The study adopted a qualitative approach, and primary data was collected through interviews with 16 participants from political, economic, and security experts in Jordan and the US. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data obtained. The study concluded that US foreign policy recognizes Jordan as a close ally and considers its stability extremely important; Jordan has a suitable location to defend Israel because critical Arab countries surround it, and Jordan enjoys a unique geographical location in the Middle East. Some political events play an essential role in US foreign policy concerning security aid to Jordan, as the US links its aid to Jordan to political events. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study examines the mediating effect of democratization processes on the relationship between various media factors (content, reach and audience, influence and power, technological platforms, and regulatory environment) and the shaping of public opinion in Jordan. The study utilizes a Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach to analyze data collected from a sample of 400 journalists and politicians. The findings reveal that democratization processes negatively mediate the effect of media on shaping public opinion in Jordan. As democratization progresses, the influence of media factors on public opinion becomes less significant. This suggests that factors such as increased political participation, freedom of expression, pluralism, and regulatory frameworks play a crucial role in shaping public opinion independently from media influence. The practical implications of this study highlight the need for policymakers to consider the mediating effect of democratization processes when formulating media policies. It is crucial to promote and protect democratic principles to ensure a balanced and diverse media landscape. Media organizations should adapt their strategies to engage with an increasingly participatory and informed citizenry. Leveraging new technological platforms and embracing diverse content can enhance their ability to reach and influence the public effectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
