| Abstract
|
:
|
This paper will examine the dramatic changes in Jordanian politics from 1955 to 1957. Jordan, as a state created in the aftermath of the First World War, as a British backed client monarchy, without any unified political or cultural identity was extremely susceptible to the subversive influences of Arab Nationalism, and more specifically Nasserism during the 1950's. As a result, Jordan was placed in the middle of two linked conflicts, the Arab Cold War, between Gamal Abdel Nasser and his allies on the one hand and the pro-Western Arab monarchies on the other, and the wider Cold War, between the West and the Soviet Union.
