Abstract:
Iraqi kingdom and Transjordan Emirate had been founded in 1921. the reign of Hashemite dynasty in Iraq continued till July, 14, Revolution 1958 while it Stayed ruling in Jordan and keeping its throne until now. Iraq - Jordan relations under the Hashemites for the period 1921 - 1958 had been dealt with by many researchers attention. But the relations between them after 1958 did not get enough attention from researchers. The researcher, being interested in this topic and writing a dissertation entitled "Iraqi - Jordanion Relations 1958 - 1968" having the wish to complete what he had presented in his previous study, he chosed his research to get a Ph. D. under the title. "Iraqi - Jordanian Relations 1968 - 1991 : A Historical Study". The thesis consists of five chapters. Chapter one dealt with the relations till 1968. it contains two these, one is about Iraq. Jordan relations from the beginning till the Hashemite Union while the other is the nature of such relations from July 1958 till July 1968. The second chapter comes under the title "Iraqi - Jordanian relations 1968 - 1972". It includes three themes talking about Jordan attitude from the takeover of July 1968 in Iraq, the crisis between Jordan and Palestine during 1970, Rogers project and how it had affected these relations. Finally, the last theme talked about the project of United Kingdom of Jordan and the Iraqi position in 1972. The third chapter had been dedicated for these relations in view of developments and Arab - Israeli Struggle 1973 - 1979. It also contained three themes. The first dealt with October War 1973. The second talked about Al - Ribbat Summit Conference 1974 while the last one came to discuss Al - Sadat Initiative and Camp David in 1979. The fourth chapter spots light on these relations during the period 1980 - 1991 and contains four themes. The first is about Jordan's attitude from the first Gulf War 1980 - 1988. The second is about the role played by both countries in establishing Arab cooperation council 1989 - 1990. The third is about western mobilization (Escalation & Confrontation) with Iraq 1989 - 1990. The last one is about Jordan's attitude from the second Gulf War. The last chapter is talking about economic and cultural relations between Iraq and Jordan 1968 - 1991. It includes three themes. The first is about their relations during the period 1968 - 1978, the second is about political approach and its reflections upon economic and cultural cooperation 1979 - 1988 while the last one has come under the title "The second Gulf War and its effect upon Jordan's economy 1989 - 1991". The researcher reached so many results the most significant ones are that after both Hashemite Families had got reign in Iraq and Jordan, their relations in general and during the period 1921 - 1958 characterized with huge access but this had been retreated after the opposition of prince Abdullah to the revolution of 1941 in Iraq and sending military forces from Jordan to be in the side of British forces to suppress the revolution. This action made Iraqi government much nearer to both Jordan and Britain and being crowned by the formation of Arab Hashemite Union between Iraq and Jordan in February 1958 ended in July, 14, Revolution 1958 in Iraq. Therefore, relations between both countries had been cut off for two years. But Jordan recognized the Iraqi government in 1960. the nature of these relations did not continue due to some Arab events which had taken place in 1960's such as Iraq's demand of Kuwait and the establishment of Palestinian Liberation Organization (P. L. O). The tension between Jordan and Iraq had increased after the declaration of King Hussein of Jordan the project of United Kingdom of Jordan and this had been faced by Iraq in declaring the Union project between Iraq, Syria and Egypt. Inspite of the failure of both projects, October War 1973 had broken out to put an end for that tension. Jordan being to the side of Iraq in its war against Iran in September 1980 had given their relations some growth quickly. The continuation of that war made king Hussein of Jordan to present diplomatic efforts to put an to that war on Arab, regional and international levels. Also, Jordan played an important role to make a reconciliation between Iraq and Egypt which ended in Egypt's return to the Arab combination and joined Arab Cooperation Council. King Hussein of Jordan had made great efforts after Iraq had invaded Kuwait but his efforts did not succeed. Behind this failure was U. S. A. insistence with its allies to pull the Iraqi forces out of Kuwait and to fulfill Security Council resolutions and this did not happen at that time.
