Jordan is an Arab country in Western Asia, sitting at the crossroads of Asia and Europe. Its critical geographical location is also one of its most important assets. A monarchy, Jordan’s incumbent King, Abdullah II, has sat on the throne for over two decades. The state’s domestic affairs have been in good order under his rule, demonstrating solidarity between different tribes and political stability. Its diplomatic strategies take a subtle national defense oriented approach, as the state stays both on good terms with the West and Israel as well as other Arab countries. Different religious sects coexist in harmony in the country and religious conflicts are rare. This is beneficial to Jordan’s economic development, establishing it as an exemplary country in the Middle East region.
