For more than half a century, Saudi Arabia-through both official
and non-governmental channels-has poured billions of dollars into
funding and sponsoring religious activities and Islamic causes
around the world. The effect has been to propagate Wahhabism, the
distinctively rigid and austere form of Islam associated with the
Kingdom's religious establishment, within Muslim communities on
almost every continent. This volume features essays by leading
scholars who explore the origins and evolution of Saudi religious
transnationalism, assess ongoing debates about the impact of these
influences in various regions and localities around the world, and
discuss possible future trends in light of new Saudi leadership. In
addition to chapters devoted to the major actors and institutions
involved in Saudi global religious propagation, the volume contains
a wide range of country case studies that offer in-depth analysis
of the nature and impact of Saudi religious influence in nations
across multiple world regions.
