Political Turbulence in Jordan: What Framework Can Political Science Provide?
Listen now
Description
On the day I moved to Jordan, a big thing happened. The country's monarchy was apparently threatened. Although not much is known about exactly what happened, it presents to us a good opportunity to talk about different types of political change - something I've been doing in multiple episodes of this podcast. I also talk about the refugee crisis, mention my episode on a parliamentary coup (!) in Brazil (https://spoti.fi/3cxKhVk), promote my series on Palestine, and reveal to you that I have, in fact, another podcast (https://spoti.fi/3pWUJsR)! Check it out. For an episode recorded on a hilly street of Amman, it's surprisingly quiet!  You can find the article on this episode with all the links and a table I mention here: https://wp.me/pc6sQr-eO
