A chapter in The Palgrave Handbook of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, 2019, pp 257-276 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Islam has long played an important role in the Jordanian state and society. The country has a regime whose royal family can boast of a robust Islamic pedigree, and apart from the state’s institutions, which represent “official Islam” and the spirituality found in Sufism, Jordan has also witnessed the rise of Islamic movements of various types. Two movements in Jordan that are quite popular are the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafism. This chapter focuses on them, giving special attention to how they have negotiated their relations with the regime throughout their history.
