But in Jordan, it is hard to imagine a more moderate and pro-Western regime than the current undemocratic monarchy.
In his book "The Revenge Of Geography," author Robert D. Kaplan discusses the complexities of global politics and the significant role that geography plays in shaping regimes. He highlights Jordan as a case study, noting its unique position in the Middle East as an undemocratic monarchy that is relatively moderate and aligned with Western interests.
Kaplan suggests that while the monarchy in Jordan may not meet democratic ideals, it remains a crucial ally for Western nations. The stability of Jordan amidst regional turmoil makes it a significant player in geopolitical dynamics, illustrating the paradox of needing to rely on non-democratic regimes in certain contexts for broader international stability.
