The Hashemite Vision of Political Parties in the Era of King Abdullah II (1999- 2025): A Historical Study in the Evolution of the Jordanian Democratic Project
Dr. Mohammed AL-hilat
Abstract
This study examines the Hashemite vision of political parties during the reign of His Majesty King Abdullah II
bin Al-Hussein from 1999 to 2025, analyzing its impact on the evolution of Jordan’s democratic project. The
research employs a historical analytical methodology to trace the development of this vision across four distinct
phases: the foundational phase (1999-2005), the development and modernization phase (2005-2011), the
challenges and response phase (2011-2016), and the continuous modernization phase (2016-2025). The study
reveals that the Hashemite vision has successfully established a progressive model for political development,
balancing authenticity with modernity, and achieving sustainable democratic development while maintaining
political stability. Through qualitative analysis of official documents, royal discussion papers, and statistical
data, the research demonstrates significant achievements, including a 133% increase in registered political
parties, a 383% increase in parliamentary seats won by parties, and enhanced political participation rates,
which are projected to reach 95% by 2024. The study concludes that the Hashemite vision represents a unique
and positive model for democratic transition in monarchical systems, offering valuable lessons for similar
contexts in the Arab region and beyond. The research contributes to academic literature on democratic
transitions and provides practical insights for policymakers seeking sustainable political development.
