- Abstract
The relationship of Saudi Arabia and the United States is examined, particularly in the framework of Gulf security. A brief analysis is conducted of internal authority within Saudi Arabia followed by a look at security problems in the Gulf region as seen from the Saudi perspective. How the Saudis perceive the role of the United States in Gulf security is then studied, with an emphasis on the cultural clash and the problems which are wont to arise. With an assumption that Saudi-U.S. relations are likely to continue in the foreseeable future, and that such relations are in the best interests of the United States, a conclusion is reached which offers several suggestions for strengthening these ties, reassuring the Saudis of American resolve, and encouraging the maintenance of stability in the Gulf region., http://archive.org/details/saudiarabianduni1094519545, Lieutenant, United States Navy, Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
