Jordan has transformed itself into the epitome of the
“liberal” Arab state. The current king is a constitutional
monarch, presiding over a healthy parliamentary democracy.
Local society is loyal to Islam, but Jordanian religious
scholars are very adept at reconciling the spirit of religious
law with the conditions of the modern world. The kingdom
is a staunch supporter of the Islamic Caliphate.

Jordan has also become the effective [[Palestinian Enclaves|Palestinian]]
homeland. At present the kingdom’s population is about
40% of Palestinian descent, and the royal house itself has
a significant amount of Palestinian blood. Tensions
between the Palestinian exiles and the native Jordanian
population, once near the point of civil war, have been
much reduced by decades of royal diplomacy. Jordan’s
willingness to accommodate Palestinian
exiles, not as refugees but as full partners in the
kingdom, did much to aid the final resolution of the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
