Jordan was formally linked to the peace process as a result of the signature of the 1978 Camp David Accords, and a number of meetings occurred between Hussein and Arafat.

 Misc Study: King Hussein of Jordan - An Historical View
In Jordan's internal politics, however, the main issue between 1967 and 1971 was the struggle between the government and the guerrilla organizations for political control of the country.
Jordan protested, pointing out that recognition on these terms would give the PLO sovereignty over half of the population in the East Bank and that in fact the annexation of the West Bank had been approved by popular vote.
Jordan, however, could not outwardly appear as if it were breaking away from the Arab fold and usurping Palestinian prerogatives, unless it were likely that concessions made by Jordan would be reciprocated by Israel.

As a woman, Naffa feels she was at times in a better position than her male comrades to "help the party." For that the JCP rewarded her: When she was fired from the Jordan National Bank because of her activism, the party elected her to the central committee, and later she became a politburo member.

Embracing globalization was traumatic for the Vietnamese Communist Party, the founding principles of which were based on the Leninist thesis that imperialism and capitalism were one and the same.

 Opposition coalition finalising proposal for ‘alternative’ election law   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The coalition of 13 political parties grouped in the Higher Committee for Coordination Among the Opposition Parties (HCCAOP), ranging from the powerful Islamic Action Front (IAF) to the Jordan Communist Party and the pan-Arabists of Al Mustaqbal, however, has not yet reached a final agreement on the electoral system that their proposal will feature.
The system applied in the 1989 elections, which marked the launching of Jordan’s political liberalisation, permitted each voter to cast as many ballots as the number of deputies to be elected to his/her constituency.
Official sources, however, told the Jordan Times that the draft, as submitted to the Prime Ministry by the Ministry of Interior, included provisions allowing Jordanians residing in foreign countries to cast their ballots through Jordanian embassies abroad.

Jordan has continued to face serious politically motivated criminal incidents, such as the October 2002 assassination of U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) official Lawrence Foley and the bombing of three upscale hotels in Amman in November 2005.

Last Friday night was an occasion for the latter as the creme of France's Communist creme flung open the doors of the party's Parisian headquarters to a very unproletarian mix of supermodels, DJs, and fashion designers.
According to reports in the French press, Prada, a stalwart of Italy's extreme left, chose the cupola-domed communist headquarters designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer to mark the imminent opening of her new boutique on the Faubourg Saint-Honore and the launch of a new fashion line, called Miu-Miu.
Nonetheless, the French party has been unable to attract fresh blood to a movement too often seen as outmoded or irrelevant by a France in the throes of economic and social modernisation.
