Résumé

This paper describes and analyses the conflicts of interests that have emerged following the implementation of a World Bank-assisted tourism development plan for the Wadi Rum Reserve (Jordan). Casting a political and cultural look at the conflict, the argument is that the crisis was unavoidable because it had underlying causes that were neither technical nor managerial. Neither at the planning, nor at the implementation level was any consideration given to the political and cultural implications of the project for the local community. This paper argues that such political and cultural underpinnings are the fundamental lynchpins behind the crisis.
