Abstract: Abstract In the Middle Eastern economies Jordan represents a distinctive case: a small country of four million people with scarce natural resources, a complex demographic composition (East Jordanians and Palestinians); high vulnerability to internal socio-political factors, because of the ‘Palestinian’ question following the 1948 and 1967 wars with Israel; and geo-political spillover because of the state of war with Israel until October 1994. All these factors affected its development.
