B. Researches
1999-2000
1. Civil Society and Governance in Jordan (international
research project, included 22 countries, four of which
are Arab: Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, and Jordan). The
research included eleven cases concerning the Muslim
Brotherhood's boycott of the 1997 parliamentary elections,
professional and political complications in the role
of professional associations, water pollution in the
capital in 1998, resisting normalization, the Jordanian
Environmental Society, the Jordanian Afaf Society, Al-Amal
Center for Healing, Civil Society and the Jordanian
press facing the Publishing Law, Jordanian women and
political participation, the inability of Jordanian
youth to establish an independent union, the role of
The Friends of Chechnya and Ingushetia in the Russian-Chechen
war, 1994-1996.
2. Political parties in Jordan (regional research project,
included ten countries).
1995
3. Civil Society and the public sphere in Amman
(research project includes a number of African and Asian
capitals).
With the emergence of UJRC, the civil society and democratic
development program also emerged, and both were associated
with the democratic transformation and the release of
political diversity in the Kingdom. The program is on
the basis of the center representing one of the civil
society institutions in Jordan, despite it having specialized
features. It directs its major interest towards democratic
issues, which are regarded as the key to political,
economic and social development. The program specifically
directs its attention to study the state of affairs
and the developments of the Jordanian civil society,
and to introduce its different groups and issues. It
also attempts to contribute to enhancing the ability
of civil society organizations to raise their status
and to strengthen their role in public life, to help
protect democratic development and the establishment
of democratic methods in the country's lifestyle at
different levels. The program's activities include organizing
conferences, seminars and workshops, preparing research
papers, and issuing books and reports in addition to
the "issues of civil society" periodical leaflet.
