In: Israel Affaırs 2014, Vol.20, Issue:3, p.318-327Summary: The Arab monarchies remain relatively stable, largely unaffected by the 'Arab Spring' upheavals. In particular, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan has emerged relatively unscathed from the region's uprisings. The Jordanian case helps underscore the extent to which the polarization between Palestinian-Jordanians and native Jordanians continues to dominate the nature of public debate and political reform. While initially the 'Arab Spring' generated a spirit of cooperation between these two communities with calls to tackle unemployment culminating in demands for democratization, the persisting schism between them resurfaced when public debates on electoral law commenced. This article analyses the roots and ramifications of the 'Arab Spring' in Jordan, as well as the resilience of the kingdom to the nascent social upheavals
