"The impact of favouritism on the business climate: a study on Wasta in Jordan" a study done by the German Development Institute and published in 2007.
The study’s recommendations are addressed first of all to the Jordanian government and to businesspeople and others in Jordan who have the power to contribute to the fight against favouritism in their country. In addition, the findings of this project may be of interest for foreign donors who are willing to support Jordanian initiatives against the use of favouritism as well as, of course, for academics.
The Arab world is a particularly instructive example of the consequences of a lack of transparency. Rulers there enjoy immense discretionary powers. They favour clients and cronies in many ways by their political, bureaucratic and judicial decisions. As a consequence, the fulfillment of formal rights depends to a large extent on the ability to carry favour with decision- makers.
