Democracy, Social Structure and Democratization in Jordan – The 2010
National Elections
Fax & Tel: xx972-4-9886040
The Jordanian case
represents the duality of the effectiveness of the political process
as a result of the procedural elections. On one hand, the electoral
process – despite its limitations – promises future possibilities.
On the other hand, holding democratic processes under conditions in
which the concept of citizenship has yet to mature finds certain
sectors and leaderships resorting to primordial identities – on the
expense of the joint citizenship - as part of the selection process
during the elections. During the last decades, basic contradiction
between democratic and anti-democratic characteristics has shaped
the Jordanian public sphere. The uniqueness of the ”democratic
incentives" and concomitant changes in various domains exist
simultaneously with gradually intensifying anti-democratic regime
responses that have the effect of immobilizing or freezing the
political structure of the regime.
