Abstract

Jordan is part of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries of the Arab world and a special society with a unique history and some distinctive characteristics, like many of the countries in the region. It is less than a century old and was part of the Ottoman Empire until 1918; then, under the British Mandate, it was founded as the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in 1946, but was effectively created as Transjordan in 1921 and as the Emirate of Transjordan under Emir Abdullah (later King Abdullah) in 1923. The founding narrative of the kingdom emphasises the role of Abdullah and his grandson, King Hussein, who ruled from 1952 till 1999 as makers of the nation (Wilson 1981).
