If not sui generis, Jordanian capitalism is undoubtedly peculiar, as is most obviously and saliently evinced through its relationship with crisis. On the one hand, it can be shown that crisis, broadly defined, constitutes both a necessary input and an inevitable output of capital accumulation in Jordan, an odd phenomenon in and of itself. Despite this being so and despite the economy’s loitering in a state of terminal distress, moreover, it can also be shown that this formation somehow demonstrates both resilience and immutability as well. An impossibility of sorts, then, Jordanian capitalism seems to endogenously generate then stubbornly persist within the very conditions meant to trigger either its demise or its evolution.J!! !

  • Jordan: the Geopolitical Service Provider
    GLOBAL ECONOMY & DEVELOPMENT WORKING PAPER 70 | FEBRUARY 2014 Global Economy and Development at BROOKINGS JORDAN: THE GEOPOLITICAL SERVICE PROVIDER Emmanuel Comolet Global Economy and Development at BROOKINGS Emmanuel Comolet is an economist in the Middle East and North Africa department of the French Agency for Development. Acknowledgements: This paper benefitted from excellent assistance from Riana Razafimandimby Andrianjaka, and I am grateful for thoughtful comments from Hafez Ghanem, John Page, Mary Hallward-Driemeier, Akihiko Koenuma and Akira Murata. Needless to say, the shortcomings of the paper are my own. Abstract: Jordan is in the eye of the Arab cyclone. It remains stable while surrounded by chaotic political situations in Syria, Iraq, Palestine and the Sinai Peninsula. Jordan has not experienced the massive demonstrations aimed at regime change that have been seen elsewhere in the region, and its relative stability has enabled it to cash in on the geo- political services it provides. These services include: hosting refugees from Palestine, Iraq or Syria; remaining a reliable ally for many international powers; featuring a strong army that plays a stabilizing role in the region; serv- ing as an intermediary when neighboring countries need a host or a dealmaker; and providing qualified Jordanian workers to fill open vacancies for companies and countries, especially in the Gulf. The current stability in Jordan matches well its historic capacity to resist and adapt to shocks. However, the contemporary situation of the labor market reveals that the weaknesses observed in the countries having experienced revolutions (e.g., Tunisia and Egypt) are also present in Jordan; labor market participation is low with very few women active, and the unemploy- ment rate of educated young people is worrisome.

  • Overcoming Intellectual Property Monopolies in the COVID-19 Pandemic
    MSF Briefing Document July 2020 Overcoming intellectual property monopolies in the COVID-19 pandemic Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is responding to the global COVID-19 pandemic, providing treatment and care for people with COVID-19, protecting people living in vulnerable conditions, and ensuring uninterrupted essential health services for people suffering from other diseases.1 Having universal access to existing and future tools for treatment, diagnosis and prevention is critical. MSF has repeatedly witnessed how exclusive rights and monopolies granted to pharmaceutical corporations, resulting in high prices and blocking generic competition, have had a negative impact on our medical actions in different countries.2 For example, in the past, high prices for patented medicines have undermined the capacity of countries to provide access to treatment for HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), hepatitis C and cancer to all patients who need them. However, the impact of intellectual property (IP) monopolies is not limited to drugs. The availability of more affordable pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and human papillomavirus vaccine in low- and middle-income countries has been delayed due to unmerited patents on key technologies blocking follow-on producers.3 Intellectual property monopolies in the COVID-19 pandemic While several of the drugs being trialled as COVID-19 treatments are now off patent, patented drugs and experimental drugs are also being trialled, and some of which are under patent protection in many developing countries.4 With control over the market as a result of patents or other exclusive rights, pharmaceutical companies could determine how global production and supply chain are organised, who ultimately has access, who can produce medicines and where they can be supplied.

  • Key Long-Term Development Issues in Jordan
    LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT ISSUES IN JORDAN Tayseer Abdel Jaber Working Paper 9522 A C 7 9522 The Economic Research Forum for the Arab Countries, Iran and Turkey (ERF) was established in June 1993 as an independent, non-profit regional networking organization. Its mission is to pro- mote policy-relevant economic research with a broad representation of views to help activate the policy-formulation debate in the region, by encouraging and funding quality research, and by disseminating results of research activities to economists and policy-makers. The ERF Working Papers Series disseminates the findings of research work in progress to promote the exchange of ideas and encourage discussion and comment among researchers for timely revi- sion by the authors. The Working Papers are intended to make preliminary research results available with the least possible delay. They have therefore not been edited nor made subject to formal peer review by ERF staff and ERF accepts no responsibility for errors. The views expressed in the Working Papers are those of the author(s) and not those of ERF. Unless otherwise stated, copyright is held by the author(s).

  • Résumé / Abstract
    JAMAL AL SHALABI & TAREQ AL-ASSAD RÉSUMÉ / ABSTRACT LA PARTICIPATION POLITIQUE DES FEMMES DE JORDANIE Cet article se propose d’étudier le rôle politique des femmes en Jordanie et d’analyser ce rôle à travers diverses problématiques juri- diques, en particulier la constitution de 1952, la Charte nationale de 1990, et les conventions internationales sur les femmes, en montrant l’impact (positivement ou négativement) des changements politiques, tels que celui mis en œuvre par la « démocratisation » qui a débuté en 1989. Bien que les femmes aient occupé des postes de « ministres », de dirigeants de partis politiques ou des fonctions dans le système judi- ciaire, à différentes époques, les problèmes et les obstacles qu’elles rencontrent ainsi que leur rôle dans la vie politique, soumis aux tra- ditions et aux contraintes des lois électorales, seront mis en évidence dans cette étude. POLITICAL PARTICIPATION OF JORDANIAN WOMEN This article aims to study the political role of women in Jordan and to analyse this role through various legal laws, especially the constitution of 1952, the National Charter of 1990, and international conventions on women by showing the impact (positively or negatively) of politi- cal changes, such as the “democratisation” that began in 1989 on this role. Although women have been assigned as ‘ministers’ and leaders of political parties and the judicial system, in different periods of time, the problems and obstacles faced by Jordanian women and their role in political life still exist, such as: traditions and electoral laws are still on the line, which needs to be highlighted in this study.

  • Democratic Change in the Arab World, Past and Present
    ERIC CHANEY Harvard University Democratic Change in the Arab World, Past and Present ABSTRACT Will the Arab Spring lead to long-lasting democratic change? To explore this question, I examine the determinants of the Arab world’s demo- cratic deficit in 2010. I find that the percentage of a country’s landmass that was conquered by Arab armies following the death of the prophet Muhammad statistically accounts for this deficit. Using history as a guide, I hypothesize that this pattern reflects the long-run influence of control structures developed under Islamic empires in the premodern era and find that the available evi- dence is consistent with this interpretation. I also investigate the determinants of the recent uprisings. Taken in unison, the results cast doubt on claims that the Arab-Israeli conflict or Arab culture or Muslim theology is a systematic obstacle to democratic change in the region and point instead to the legacy of the region’s historical institutional framework. ill the Arab Spring lead to long-lasting democratic change? With WIslamist parties and candidates performing well in elections across the Arab world, many observers have begun to predict that the recent upris- ings will usher in a wave of Islamist-dominated autocracies instead of the democratic institutions many protestors initially demanded. These observ- ers often point to the political trajectories of non-Arab, Muslim-majority states such as Iran and implicitly claim that Islamist-dominated states cannot be democratic. Others note that the emergence of democratic regimes in Indonesia and Turkey demonstrate that Islamists can play a con- structive role in democratic institutions.1 One challenge for those interested in forecasting the evolution of institu- tions in the Arab world is that there is little consensus regarding the factors that led to the region’s democratic deficit before the recent uprisings.
