Abstract

The article focuses on the importance of King Hussein's reign, which is prominent when considering the divisions and threats Jordan has faced. The author claims that King Hussein is justifiably credited with making most of the transformation in Jordan possible. An overview of the challenges faced by Jordan is offered. It was found that Jordanians believed that through peaceful relations with Israel, much greater stability can be bought to the region and that the economic development opportunities will grow. It was concluded that Jordan must deal with the challenges of Palestinian nationalism, fundamentalism and class differences.
