The department of regional and international studies at the center for strategic and international studies held a seminar on “The possibility of political change in Arab countries of a monarchy system” where the lecturers discussed the nature of the ruling regimes of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the Kingdom of Morocco from one hand in comparison with those in the Arabian Gulf.
The researchers asserted that the possibility of real change in these countries is unlikely because these systems control all joints of life and if there is a change it would be at the will of the ruler, not the governed. It happened that the people in more than one country demanded change, but the political authorities in those countries used the policy of containment, particularly the rich ones in the Gulf States by providing more money to their people to be accepted.
