| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research was clarifying the mechanism of Arab monarchies’ resilience from the case studies of Morocco and Jordan, a resilience that was verified by the aftermath of the “Arab Spring” wave, focusing on party politics and the electoral systems.
In my previous research, I suggested that Moroccan party politics since 1990s might be better understood as a new strategy by the king, “the rotation of the ruling parties and the opposition,” under the name of nominal democracy.
I tried to refine this model applying the case study of Jordan. However, it became clear that the factors that make the rotation possible in Morocco do not hold in Jordanian case. Therefore, I tried to focus on principal political actor in both cases, the Islamists, to clarify their relationship with the regime and their manner in formal/informal political fields.
