Abstract	:	Bureaucracy is the major instrument of socio-economic development in Jordan. It functions within an environment of scarce resources, overpowering political leadership, and particularistic cultural habits. This study reviews not only the progress made towards achieving the goals of national development but also the obstacles that retard modernization efforts. It examines specific bureaucratic pathologies in the Jordanian political-administrative structure: clerkism, centralism, nepotism, incompetence, and the negative effects of such factors on development and administrative effectiveness. The examination of official administrative reform efforts in Jordan indicates that the substantive issues of reform have not been effectively articulated or managed.
