Political and economic changes in recent years have stimulated the growth of more democratic practices in parts of the Middle East. In several countries like Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Jordan, and Yemen, steps have been taken to ensure parliamentary elections; political parties have been legalized and operate with greater freedom; and the press has been given more autonomy to report news and comment on developments. This paper examines the basic forces of change that have influenced the movement toward democracy in the Middle East and investigates the prospects of democratization in Jordan.
