Arab Center Washington DC is convening a panel of experts to discuss the reform process and its prospects for creating real change for the people of Jordan. Speakers will examine the details of the reform plan, evaluate whether it can be implemented and have a meaningful impact on life in the kingdom, and propose recommendations to address concerns over governance, economic crises, and rising restrictions on the press and free speech. They will also assess the current socioeconomic and political conditions that triggered the protests, as well as the impact of neoliberal economic policies, the influence of Jordan’s tribal system, the implications of a newly announced cybercrime law, and US policy proposals to support real reform in Jordan.
