A National Security Strategy for Jordan

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to try and define a general frame within which a viable national security strategy can be formed for this small country. It is located in a much unsettled region; it holds center stage in the world political map; is considered to be of extreme significance in providing essential raw materials, being a pivotal spot that attracts world attention, especially under the changing pattern of state-to-state relations. In light of the newly formed international environment, national security has become complicated, ambiguous, and commonly incomprehensible.
