Wasta in Jordan- The Declared Secret
Prepared
and published the first study of its kind on
wasta in Jordan in English and Arabic, (March
2002) in cooperation with the Swiss Agency for
Development
Prepared and published the first study of its
kind on “Wasta in Jordan- The Declared Secret”
in English and Arabic, (March 2002) in
cooperation with the Swiss Agency for
Development. Wasta, the use of connections for
personal gain, is widespread in the Jordanian
society and hits practically every individual.
The Wasta book is a follow-up study to an
opinion poll the Arab Archives Institute has
carried out in May 2000. The book examined the
different facets of wasta and proposed ways and
means for eliminating it. Several calls by the
successive governments of Jordan were made
consequently to fight wasta. Prime minister Ali
Abul Ragheb pledged in a public speech at AAI
conference he would not submit to the use of
wasta in his personal and political life. |
