%X This article studies some of the major<b> </b>factors
that affected the sustainability of reforms in Jordan for the period that spans
from the establishment of the st<span>ate of Jordan
until the first decade of the rule of the new King after the</span> death of the
previous one. This period is important since it had very important and long
ripple effects on the follow up years. In addition, and within this
investigated period, Jordan¡¯s aspiration had focused on benefiting from the
opportunities of economic openness and global integration to become an active
contributor in the global economy and society. The challenges in realizing this
vision occurred mainly in the effectiveness to adapt to a continu<span>ously changing set of global economic indicators.
While implementing</span> privatization and economic globalization, it is also
noticed that, since the implementation of the World Bank-influenced
Stabilization and Structural Adjustment Programs in Jordan, the poverty rates
had been substantially increased within short to medium runs. This article
shows in depth main milestones within external and internal factors that
affected political and economic reforms in Jordan throughout this important
period.
