Without His help and assistancethis work would have never seen the light of day. Next, throughout the first twenty months of my research I was fortunate in having the kind and expert guidance of Professor Hilaire McCoubrey who was the Director of Postgraduate Affairs in Law School until he died while visiting Pakistan on 19 April 2000. Professor McCoubrey was dedicated to his students and I am indebted to him for his valuable suggestions and critical comments. I would like to express my sincere appreciation and deep gratitude to Dr Lindsay Moir, who took over as my supervisor after the death of Professor McCoubrey, for his invaluable moral support, generous devotion of time, guidance, encouragement, constructive comments and important feedback, for which I am very grateful. I consider my work with him as a turning point in my research life. Also, I would like to express my thanks to Professor Scott Davidson, the Director of the Law School who took over as my supervisor for the last four months while Dr Lindsay Moir was on study leave. He has kindly looked at the last draft of my thesis and provided me with invaluable comments and feedback. Many thanks go to the people who played one role or another in achieving this work. Of these, I mention first of all H. R. H. Prince Naif Ibn Abdulaziz, the Minister of Interior, H. R. H. Prince Ahmed Ibn Abdulaziz, the Deputy Minister of Interior, and H. R. H. Prince Muhammad Ibn Naif Ibn Abdulaziz, the Assistant to the Minister of Interior for Security Affairs, who have given me the opportunity to pursue my higher studies. I am also indebted to Lient. General Talal Angawi, the General Director of Border Guard (Riyadh), General Sulaiman Al-Rashid, the Assistant to the General iii Director of Border Guard for Military Affairs, General Ahmed A. Simbawah, formerly the General Commander of the Border Guard in Western Region (Jeddah) and Lient. Colonel Mishael Al-Matrafi, formerly the Director of Training Administration, now the Director of the Administration of Communications and Support in the Border Guard (Riyadh). My thanks also go to the staff at all levels of the following institutions for their assistance in finding materials which I needed: the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Library, the Institute of Diplomatic Study Library (Riyadh), Department of Military Survey (Riyadh), Arabian Naif Academy for Security Study (Riyadh), Council of Ministers Library, Consultative Council Library, the Border Guard Library (all in Riyadh) the Library of the Holy Mosque (Makkah), the British Public Record Office (London), and Brynmor Jones Library (University of Hull). I am also indebted to Mrs Ann Asbridge and Miss Sue McDonald at the University of Hull Law School for their kindness assistanceand friendly treatment over the research years and to Mrs Kathryn Spry for proofreading. Finally, many special thanks go to all members of my family, both here and back in Saudi Arabia: to my wife and my children here in Hull, who lived with me this study moment by moment and shared with me my hopes and fears, suffered and paid the price and provided me with a warm and enjoyable environment to enable me to complete this study and to my brothers, sisters, relatives and friends for their unfailing support. iv Table of Contests Acknowledgments ........................................................................... iii Table Contests of .............................................................................

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.

Maha Kenaee Abstract This thesis attempts three related tasks. First, it surveys the historic record which provides uncontestable evidence that Kuwait was never part of the Ottoman Empire and thus never formed a single administrative or political unit with Iraq or part of it. Second, it traces the turbulent history of Kuwait‟s relationship with Iraq ever since the latter achieved independence in 1932; arguing that this turbulent relationship invited the intervention of regional and international players due to the strategic importance of Kuwait, especially since the discovery of oil.

  • The Saudi Economy in 2019
    The Saudi Economy in 2019 The year ahead will be marked by a continued improvement in the health and direction of the Saudi economy. During 2019, we expect to see a consolidation of efforts in striving towards the goals of the Vision 2030 (Vision), as well as the targets set under the National Transformation Program (NTP). This effort will be aided by the largest ever budgeted expenditure, for the second successive year, of SR1.1 trillion, which not only includes a 20 percent yearly rise in capital expenditure, but also a number of targeted support measures. Whilst economic reform is still currently under way, latest full year GDP data for 2018 shows that the economy was able to absorb most of the disruptive effects of necessary economic reform enacted last year. Looking ahead, as comparably limited major reform is scheduled to take place during 2019, this should clear the way for a pick up in momentum for the Saudi economy. Overall, whilst the oil sector‟s output will be partially trimmed by Saudi Arabia‟s commitment to the OPEC and partners (OPEC+) agreement, we do see the non-oil sector exhibiting marginally higher year-on-year growth. According to our forecasts, Saudi Arabia‟s economy will grow by 2 percent in 2019, compared to 2.2 percent in 2018. The mild decline in yearly growth is entirely due to lower oil sector GDP as the Kingdom complies with the OPEC+ production agreement. That said, we still see oil sector growth being helped along by a rise in gas output and the opening of the Jazan refinery.
