  • 1. Saudi Conceptions of National and Gulf Security
    Saudi Arabia and the Illusion of Security 13 Chapter 1 Saudi conceptions of national and Gulf security Western and GCC governments share the view that the essence of Gulf security is protecting oil – its production, transport and sale at a stable and reasonable price. This has been the cornerstone of Western and American policy-making since the Carter Doctrine and before. Just as importantly, even as Gulf oil is the lifeblood of the industrialised world, so oil revenues are the principal source of income for Gulf governments and the mainstay of their economic health. But how can this objective be successfully achieved in what often seems to be an especially hostile environment? And, more to the point, how can this primary objective be squared with the strategy of containing Iraq and Iran that the West has pursued in the Gulf for the past decade? It should not be surprising that the views of Western governments and Gulf regimes on optimal Gulf security differ, particularly over the details, or that, on occasion, these differences may lead to friction, despite agreement on broad objectives. Western conceptions of Gulf security have evolved into a primary objective of ‘Gulf defence’: the military capability to defend regional interests and friendly states. But, as American and other Western states increased their power projection in the region, the emphasis shifted from confronting a Soviet threat to facing regional threats to Western interests. By the 1990s the perceived threats had narrowed down to Iraq and Iran, and the Clinton administration’s Gulf policy was articulated as ‘dual containment’.

    Islamic Psychology Islamic Psychology or ilm an-nafs (science of the soul) is an important introductory textbook drawing on the latest evidence in the sub-disciplines of psychology to provide a balanced and comprehensive view of human nature, behaviour and experience. Its foundation to develop theories about human nature is based upon the writings of the Qur’an, Sunnah, Muslim scholars and contemporary research findings. Synthesising contemporary empirical psychology and Islamic psychology, this book is holistic in both nature and process and includes the physical, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions of human behaviour and experience. Through a broad and comprehensive scope, the book addresses three main areas: Context, perspectives and the clinical applications of applied psychology from an Islamic approach. This book is a core text on Islamic psychology for undergraduate and postgraduate students and those undertaking continuing professional development courses in Islamic psychology, psychotherapy and counselling. Beyond this, it is also a good supporting resource for teachers and lecturers in this field. Dr G.

These relations evolved under conditions in which both countries understood and valued the need for cooperation, but also were aware of its limits and the dangers of too close a partnership. U.S. security dealings with Saudi Arabia are an extreme, perhaps unique, case of how security ties unfolded under conditions in which sensitivities to those ties were always a central —oftentimes dominating—consideration. This was especially true in the most delicate area of military assistance. Distinct patterns of behavior by the two countries emerged as a result, patterns that continue to this day. This dissertation examines the first twenty years of the U.S.-Saudi military assistance relationship. It seeks to identify the principal factors responsible for how and why the military assistance process evolved as it did, focusing on the objectives and constraints of both U.S.

Today, the Eastern Province is dubbed “The Industrial Capital of the Entire Gulf” for its enormous industrial activities. And it is evident when this region has become the biggest recipient of industrial capital investments of the Kingdom. 22 Economic Development Prospects for the Eastern Province With the support from the recently launched “Saudi Vision 2030”, the Eastern Province has taken a key role in the Kingdom’s drive to diversify its income away from oil. Most of the manufacturing industries such as petrochemicals, chemicals, steel, cement, aluminum and plastics are located in the region. These industries are mainly based in the Dammam-I, II and III industrial estates, Al Ahsa-I and II industrial estates, Hafr Al-Batin industrial estate and Jubail-I and II industrial cities.

  • The Saudi Armed Forces
    Mapping the Saudi State, Chapter 6: The Saudi Armed Forces I. Introduction Though some commentators locate the origins of the contemporary Saudi armed forces in the few dozen tribal warriors that helped Abdulaziz Al Saud reconquer his family’s ancestral base of Riyadh,1 a quick study of the historical record reveals a starkly different picture. The Saudi government’s army, navy, and air force, organized by the Ministry of Defense and Aviation (MODA), are largely foreign constructs. From their haphazard conception in the 1930s and ‘40s through the present day, these forces have owed what prowess they possess to the equipping and training efforts of Egyptian, British, and US missions and even private firms. In a certain sense, the Saudi military and the ministry that oversees it are contractual, and not national, bodies. The government’s willingness to place its national defense in international hands, though crucial to understanding the armed forces’ historical development, is a symptom of the ruling family’s larger political calculus. Governing a fractured populace along patrimonial lines, the Saudi elite want an army strong enough to dominate their neighbors and fend off regional competition, but weak enough to never challenge their absolute rule. Oscillating between viewing the armed forces as both threat and tool, the ruling family has created a body organized along sectarian and tribal lines, incapable of effectively operating without significant foreign assistance. Chapter 6 of Mapping the Saudi State charts the development of these forces, outlines their current strength, and underlines their damaging utilization. Though the Saudi government rarely deploys its military, the armed forces’ most recent action has come coupled with a host of human rights violations committed against the people of Yemen.
