The rise of a public sphere in Jordan after 1988 has deeply shaped its domestic and foreign policies as well as its national identity. This highly original studythe first application of Habermasian public sphere theory to international relationsexplores the relationship among identity, interests, and foreign policy, employing contemporary Jordan to explore the changing dynamics of the Arab regional system. Going beyond regime and statecentered models employed by most political scientists, Lynch emphasizes the print media as a barometer of public opinionone that affects the decisionmaking of political leaders.State Interests and Public Spheres looks at the four pivotal events that have defined Jordan's place in the emerging Middle Eastern orderthe nation's 1988 severing of ties with the West Bank, its peace treaty with Israel, its decision not to join the coalition against Iraq during the Gulf crisis in 1990, and its subsequent resolution to turn against Iraq in 1995. Drawing from Arabiclanguage newspapers and interviews in the region, Lynch reinterprets the transition to democracy in Jordan, the relationship between 'Jordanians' and Jordanian citizens of Palestinian origin, and the nature of civil society in Jordan.
