This updated edition analyses the challenges, both internal and
external, facing Saudi Arabia in the twenty-first century. Two new
chapters discuss the political, economic and social developments in
the aftermath of 9/11, painting a vivid picture of a country
shocked by terrorism and condemned by the international community.
Madawi Al-Rasheed reveals that fragmentation of royal politics, a
failing economy and fermenting Islamist dissent posed serious
threats to state and society in 2001. She assesses the consequent
state reforms introduced under pressure of terrorism, international
scrutiny and a social mobilisation of men, women and minorities
struggling to shape their future against a background of repression
and authoritarian rule. While Saudi Arabia is still far from
establishing a fourth state, there are signs that the people are
ready for a serious change that will lead them to a state of
institutions rather than princes.
