Promoting Regional Stability

By Dr. Jamal Al Shalabi

Dr. Jamal Al Shalabi is a Professor of Political Science at the Hashemite University in Jordan. He has published, authored, translated and edited numerous books including, Jordan: Revolutionaries without a Revolution, Jordan: Arab Diplomacy in the World,  Political Islam: Amman Message as a Model, and "European - Arabian Relations Aftermath of September 11th: Reality & Expectation." 

According to Dr. Jamal Al Shalabi, Professor of Political Science at the Hashemite University, turmoil in the Middle East has prompted Jordan to strengthen cooperation with its neighbors. Egypt-Jordan relations are at an all time high, Al Shalabi told The Cipher Brief, and it is “logical” for Jordan to deepen security ties with Israel.

The Cipher Brief: Since the emergence of ISIS, how have Jordan and Egypt cooperated to combat the threat of the terrorist group in Syria and the Sinai? Has there been an increase in military sales, intelligence sharing, defense cooperation, etc.?

“The Cipher Brief has become the most popular outlet for former intelligence officers; no media outlet is even a close second to The Cipher Brief in terms of the number of articles published by formers.” —Sept. 2018, Studies in Intelligence, Vol. 62
