How Washington Empowers King Abdullah's Repression — "The Most American King: Abdullah of Jordan"

DAWN held an online panel discussion of Aaron Magid's new book, "The Most American King: Abdullah of Jordan," on September 17, 2025, diving into the long-running rule of Jordan's current King, Abdullah II. Magid, a former Amman-based journalist, broke down Abdullah's approach to foreign and domestic policy, observing how the king has long viewed his close ties to the United States as central to his decision-making and repressive rule in Jordan. Expert panelists for the discussion included: -Aaron Magid: Former Amman-based journalist. Author of "The Most American King: Abdullah of Jordan.” -Sean Yom: DAWN Fellow. Associate Professor of Political Science at Temple University. Senior Fellow, Middle East Program, Foreign Policy Research Institute. -Jamal al Tahat: Senior Advisor, DAWN. Longtime advocate for democratization in Jordan. The conversation focused on Magid's findings and conclusions, and specifically on Abdullah's hyper-fixation on positive ties with Washington. The discussion was moderated by Alexander Langlois, Senior Editor of DAWN's journal, Democracy in Exile.
