الملخص EN

This study presents a picture of a civil society institution which was established in Jordan by the end of 1971 and continued till 1974 amidst an absence of parliamentary and partisan life as a result of the conditions the state was subject to after the June 1967 War, and the crisis between Jordan and the fedayeen organizations during the year 1970.

Jordanian officials tried to strengthen national unity and eliminate the negative impact of the said events.

The study shows the goals behind establishing the Arab (Jordanian) National Union, its general principles, domestic and foreign policies in addition to its activities, political, economic and social accomplishments.

It also looks into its role in the national issues and the factors that led to its termination.

The researcher depended on sources contemporary to the establishment of the union, particularly newspapers and narratives obtained from officials who witnessed the foundation of the union and contributed to its establishment.
