By examining why Jordanian authoritarianism is so stable, not despite but in part because of external attempts at &#8218;democracy promotion&#8216;, Benjamin Schuetze demonstrates the depth of Orientalist attitudes among &#8218;democracy promoters&#8216;. In highlighting the undermining of democratic values as they become circumscribed by the free market and security concerns, Schuetze suggests that although US and European policy in Jordan comes under the cloak of a universal morality which claims the surmounting of authoritarianism as its objective, its effect is not that different to traditional modes of imperial support for authoritarian regimes. As a result, this is a vivid illustration of what greater US and European policy presence in the Global South really means.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/gb\/academic\/subjects\/politics-international-relations\/middle-east-government-politics-and-policy\/promoting-democracy-reinforcing-authoritarianism-us-and-european-policy-jordan?format=PB\">Access to this publication.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>in: Cambridge Middle East Studies, Cambridge University Press<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-publication","category-publication-frontpage"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
