description Using the case of Jordan, this analysis examines the inter-relationship between four variables relating to the political/governmental dimension of the information revolution (regulation strategy, political openness, state vulnerability to international pressure, and the regime's economic liberalization level). Information technology is a means to alleviate enduring economic crisis which threatens the regime's political control. Regulatory changes and international agreements may significantly undermine the traditional state-societal contract with important implications for political change.
