This brief analyzes the political and economic challenges still facing Jordan despite reform efforts, and how the EU should help the Kingdom in its attempts at change. The authors argue that the EU should challenge the King on the lack of substantive reform and for more immediate progress in creating an inclusive political system that will be better equipped to deal with the economic difficulties. They also contend that Europe should raise concerns over the expansive political role of the security service and press for more meaningful action against corruption.
