Abstract

The study aims to examine the positive role of King Abdullah of Jordan’s speeches during the Arab Spring (2011-2013) and the role of Jordanian Parliament in political reforms during the same period.

The study concluded that Jordan enacted a number of political reforms, sought to introduce further democratic changes, and encouraged the establishment of civil society institutions and political parties. The study made a number of recommendations such as the importance of the constitutional empowerment of parliament by increasing the scope of its powers through a modern election law that would contribute to the advancement of political life in Jordan
