Ebook: Jordanian policy towards the Syrian crisis 2011 2016

This thesis tries to examine the policy of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan towards the Syrian crisis during the period 2011-2016, as Jordan was one of the principal countries to be affected directly by the crisis. In six years, the Syrian conflict escalated from peaceful protests to militants and insurgency then to bloody civil war, gaining regional as well as international dimensions; it resulted in not only a human tragedy by forcing about 1.3 million Syrian to seek refuge in Jordan, thus triggering a sudden demographic change,1 but also prompted security threats for the country, in addition to other internal and external implications stemming from major changes in regional and international politics in the West Asia region
