From the Paper:

"Heavy US and UN intervention in the Middle East in the past 20 years has had some substantial effects on the governmental and social structures of various countries in that region. A few specific countries can be used as geopolitical barometers to understand the relationships between monarchy and democracy and their effects on the Middle Eastern world, specifically Jordan, Morocco and Saudi Arabia. All of which are highly significant in international relationships, and all are in various states of democratization. Looking at these three countries we will understand the relationships between democracy and democratization and their cultures and political structures, as well as the countries' relationship to globalization and international affairs."
