Jordan has gotten a bad rap because of the war on terror and because when people think of the middle east they get all weirded out, as if there are suicide bombers around every corner. Not true. They are around every other corner. Just kidding. Anyway, I just read this piece on CNN.com about the rise of Jordan as a tourist and business destination. The Kempinski Hotel in Amman gets high marks as a (somewhat expensive) place to stay. The country is benefiting from the influx of wealthy Iraqis as well as U.S. servicemen on their way to Iraq, but also from an increased interest from Western travelers.

Paleolithic Period Neolithic Period Early Bronze Age Middle Bronze Age ... The Hellenistic Period Paleolithic Period During the Paleolithic period (c. 500,000-17,000 BCE), the inhabitants of Jordan hunted wild animals and foraged for wild plants, probably following the movement of animals seeking pasture and living near sources of water. The climate during this period was considerably wetter than today, and therefore large areas of modern-day desert were open plains ideal for a hunting and gathering subsistence strategy. Evidence has also been found of Paleolithic inhabitation near a large expanse of water at Azraq. Paleolithic man in Jordan left no evidence of architecture, and no human skeleton from this period has yet been found. However, archaeologists have uncovered tools from this period such as flint and basalt hand-axes, knives and scraping implements. Ancient man also left clues to the nature of his existence beginning in Paleolithic times and continuing through the Neolithic and Chalcolithic eras. Neolithic Period During the Neolithic period (c. 8500-4500 BCE), or New Stone Age, three great shifts took place in the land now known as Jordan. First, people settled down to community life in small villages. This corresponded to the introduction of new food sources-such as cereal agriculture, domesticated peas and lentils, and the newly-widespread practice of goat herding- into the diet of Neolithic man. The combination of settled life and "food security" prompted a rise in population which reached into the tens of thousands.

Recently at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Eason Jordan, a CNN executive, told a panel that the U.S. military deliberately targeted journalists in Iraq. He said he "knew of about 12 journalists who had not only been killed by American troops, but had been targeted as a matter of policy," said Rep. Barney Frank, a Democrat from Massachusetts who was on the panel with Jordan.

The third Nordic conference on Middle Eastern Studies: Ethnic encounter and culture change Joensuu, Finland, 19-22 June 1995 Indigenous hardiness structures and state formation in Jordan Towards a history of Jordan's resident Arab population Andrews University NB Ethnic encounter and culture change , Bergen/London 1997, 143-57. Please quote or refer only to the published article.* Abstract In this paper I take up the question of why ethnic solidarities continue to persist in many parts of the world today, with the consequence that ethnic conflicts also continue to occur. On the basis of insights gained from archaeological research in Jordan, I posit the evolution in Jordan - and in many societies around the world - of "indigenous hardiness structures" which, due to their combined effect, are inherently corrosive and dissolving of state-level polities? Such structures have attained great strength and resilience in countries like Jordan because of almost four millennia of foreign domination and exploitation of the indigenous population. Examples of such structures mentioned include the following practices and institutions: tribalism, multi-resource economic pursuits; maintenance of fluid homeland territories, residential flexibility; low-care water sourcing; hospitality and honor. Introduction In harmony with the theme of this conference, my presentation today deals with ethnic encounter and culture change in the country of Jordan. Being an archaeologist, I bring, as you might expect, a long-term perspective to this theme- - one which in this case spans four millennia. In particular, my aim today will be to highlight some of what we have learned as archaeologists of the history of Jordan's indigenous population. This history, as we shall see, is a different one from the one most tourists encounter when they visit the country. It is a history of the country's Arab inhabitants, as opposed to the history of its foreign occupiers.

Although a crucial period in the kingdom's political history, students of Jordan have approached this era in a largely descriptive way.(4) Hussein's biographers have also romanticized this era by overemphasizing his personal qualities and prowess as salient factors enabling him to survive the myriad challenges upon his person and regime during those turbulent years.(5) However such explanations of the Hashemite regime's survival hinder attempts to demonstrate the potential contributions of Middle East comparative politics and foreign policy analysis to theory-building in similar sub-fields across other developing regions. Hence the need to revisit this definitive period of Jordan's history and subject it to a scrutiny that, simultaneously, provides a better explanation of the regime's survival and highlights its comparative theoretical implications.

Truman. Introductory Note History, and different perceptions of history, are perhaps the most important factors in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Accounts of history, interpreting history in different ways, are used to justify claims and to negate claims, to vilify the enemy and to glorify "our own" side. Dozens of accounts have been written. Most of the accounts on the Web are intended to convince rather than to inform. This very brief account is intended as a balanced overview and introduction to Palestinian and Israeli history, and the history of the conflict. It is unlikely that anyone has written or will write an "objective" and definitive summary that would be accepted by everyone, but it is hoped that this document will provide a fair introduction.
