This symposium comes in the wake of changes and challenges in the region that affect Jordan's future and its regional role, either on the level of the peace process or changes in the political scene in Palestine, or the information leaks about the Substitute Homeland project which targets Jordan as an independent political entity. The symposium's importance emerges in drafting the government's and the Islamic Movement's plan to build up future relations that achieve Jordan>s goals of national unity and secure social and political sectors to protect it. With respect to trends in the relationship challenges, as perceived by the Islamic Movement, the participants emphasized that this relationship was historically characterized by coexistence, but it was unable to shift to an alliance or engage in the state's administration and political decisions, and was sometimes marred by tension and mistrust. With regard to the variables affecting the restructuring of the relationship, the participants emphasized that conditions in Jordan and regional and international developments led to the kind of instantaneous transformation in the relationship with the Islamic Movement, but it was so far described as tactical. They emphasized that there is considerable disagreement in views. They also emphasized that the recent changes internationally, and in the region, forced the Jordanian decision-makers to re-evaluate the reality and draft it in order to preserve stability and ensure Jordan's survival in the face of challenges. The symposium developed three possible scenarios. First: the success of the two parties to make a relationship that creates a qualitative shift in the internal political reconstruction of the Kingdom. Second: the trend towards partial understandings on a number of issues and the dismantling of outstanding conflicts. Third: the two sides fail to reach any agreement in whole or in part because of a conflict of interest, or because of interference from outside parties.
