As a small Middle eastern country with limited resources Jordan possesses a level of importance beyond its size and means. As a result the stability of the country is not only important for the Hashemite Dynasty that ruled it since its inception but the region as a whole. Since 1923 when Great Britain officially recognized the Emirate of Transjordan hashemites faced four waves of opposition that developed paralel to the developments in the Arab World, but unlike the rest of the countries in the region, managed to come outof these struggles with success. This stability that can be considered long for the region is the result of certain characteristics of the country and the regime. After evaluating these characteristics, this study aims to look at the regime’s past experiences in order to gain insight on how it may perform against current challenges posed by Islamist opposition.
