This study was based on the assumption that globalization is behind the initiative for higher education reform in Jordan. The changes stemming from globalization are of such magnitude that they are impacting higher education systems almost everywhere, in varying degrees of intensity. / The conceptual framework of this study is shaped by qualitative methodology, and guided by a social constructivist paradigm, using a case study strategy. My aim is to choreograph this inquiry based on the post-modern notion that there is no single correct interpretation that captures reality. In this study, I identify the forces responsible for the restructuring of higher education in Jordan, to help gauge the scope and dimensions of the changes advanced under the banner of reform. / My aim in this study is to expand the ongoing debate on higher education in the context of globalization. And most importantly for Jordan, I aim to help develop a more coherent, multi-linear view of the dynamics underlying the reforms advanced, and the various impacts of globalization. By providing insight into the relationship between globalization and the needs advanced for higher education policy reforms, this study aims to help work with globalization rather than against it, and invest every effort to benefit from its opportunities.
