Over long decades, crises have surrounded Jordan, forming a persistent feature of the entire region. The Jordanian state has always devised choices, solutions, and formulas to fend off the impacts of regional crises on its security and stability, and to press forward with its comprehensive modernization paths, plans, and programs—political, economic, administrative, and other successful experiences—leaving no room for regional crises and their repercussions to become causes for hesitation or retreat from those plans and programs that enhance Jordan's strength and standing.
As a vital pillar in the context of resilience that has accompanied Jordan's journey, the Jordanian model of self-reliance emerged as an intrinsic formula to overcome ongoing regional crises and their grave impacts, leading up to the current phase in which the region has entered an extremely dangerous stage, the effects of which have extended to touch the entire world, threatening further deterioration and risks.
As a sustainable approach, self-reliance plans proceed within a necessary context to deal with various challenges monitored from the region, especially since the conditions, repercussions, and complexities of the current crisis in the region are more severe than previous ones, and have imposed a mandatory path on all countries to shift towards self-reliance plans and programs in almost everything—whether in defense and security policies, economy, energy, and supply chains; the list goes on in this framework, representing negative impacts that transcend the borders of the region to affect many countries of the world.
As for Jordan, the challenges and impacts are also difficult, yet its deep experience in the region and its long, professional handling of its crises and repercussions confirm that Jordanian plans and measures for self-reliance come within an organized, studied, and unconfused context, amid multiple and successive international and regional crises for which Jordan has been in a state of continuous readiness and precaution.
