Summary/Abstract: The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, unexpectedly, maintained political stability after 2011. It is a phenomenon in the region where many countries plunged into in perennial civil wars. Moreover, Jordan has maintained this stability despite relatively, according to the regional criteria, liberal internal policy. The following text is devoted to the analysis of this phenomenon and, at the same time, it discusses main events concerning the Kingdom in the years 2011–2018. Basic features of the political and social system of Jordan have been analysed and, inevitably, previous history of the country has also been outlined. Strong aspects of Jordan monarchy that enable to overcome crises, better than in the neighbouring countries, have been pointed out. At the same time, problems and threats that could threaten the stability of this country in the future, have also been indicated.
