Abdullah, as Saudi crown prince and king, initiated a number of socio-political reforms to placate the growing concerns over rising radicalism and political discontent. Among these measures were efforts to improve the education system, employment opportunities and women’s rights. Political reforms included expansion of the Majlis al-Shura (Consultative Council), municipal elections, national and interfaith dialogues and concessions to Shias, but most important was the formation of the Allegiance Council towards institutionalizing succession. Though not insignificant, these reform initiatives did not considerably advance the possibilities of an inclusive state and society. Hence, his domination of the Saudi political landscape for five decades did not transform into a lasting legacy primarily due to Abdullah’s inability to bring about structural changes within the ruling family and wider society.

Source : ABES [http://www.idref.fr/033702462/id] - theses.fr, 27/01/2022; Liberalism in Saudi Arabia is a modernist thought trend that creates and animates public debate in the kingdom. Liberal expressions lead to many conflicts with Salafi-Wahhabi movements. Clerical groups believe that liberal discourse is against Islam and aims to undermine the traditional foundations of Saudi society. However, the particularities of these liberal cultural and social phenomena emanate directly from the ruling kingdom itself. The liberal trend is to promote societal change which is not based on religion, but on universal principals viewed as more compatible with moderate Islam. This modern vision of religion contrasts sharply with the Al-Saud kingdom's Wahhabism, the state's doctrine. Liberals are contesting the Wahhabi fundamentalism demonstrated throughout society, and their perspectives are reflected and potentially manifested through the royalty's elite media system. Moreover, analyzing the dynamics of this thought in « prince media » brings to light the problematic of its use by an authoritarian regime facing several State crises since the 1990s. These contexts that are leading the power elite to be more realistic and pragmatic in politics, in order to preserve its strategic interests. Using the liberal discourse dictated by the ruling elites furthers their agenda and also their alliance with Western states, in parallel with maintaining their traditional relations with the Wahhabi establishment. Today, the Al-Saud monarchy appears to be increasingly torn between two opposing visions regarding its future. On the one hand it has to deal with growing modernist demands, and on the other hand it must take into account the hegemonic conservative tendencies inherent to its society.; Le libéralisme en Arabie saoudite constitue un courant de pensée moderniste qui initie et anime le débat public du royaume. Les expressions libérales entraînent de multiples conflits idéologiques et intellectuels avec les milieux salafistes-wahhabites. Ces derniers considèrent que le discours des libéraux saoudiens va à l’encontre de l’islam. Il vise, selon eux, à saper les fondements conservateurs de la société saoudienne. La singularité de ce phénomène culturel émane des particularités propres au royaume. Le courant libéral est porteur d’un projet de société non fondé sur la religion, mais plutôt sur des principes universels qui sont toutefois harmonieux, selon lui, avec un islam modéré. Cette conception moderniste de l'islam tranche d’ailleurs avec le Wahhabisme, la doctrine intégriste u royaume. Les libéraux remettent en cause ses manifestations fondamentalistes dans la société. C’est surtout dans le système médiatique des élites dirigeantes que s’affirment les orientations contestataires et revendicatives qu'ils incarnent. Les dynamiques de cette doctrine dans les médias du prince permettent de mettre en lumière la problématique de son usage par le régime, sous l’impulsion des nombreuses crises majeures qu’il affronte depuis les années 1990. Ce contexte historique instable conduit la monarchie conservatrice à faire des choix pragmatiques qui lui permettent de préserver ses intérêts. L’instrumentalisation du discours libéral favorise son agenda et son alliance avec l’Occident, tout en maintenant des rapports historiques avec l’establishment wahhabite. Dans sa gestion des affaires de l'Etat, le système politique saoudien s'avère bien loin de l'image d'un régime rigide et monolithique. L'Arabie saoudite apparaît aujourd'hui plus que jamais tiraillée entre deux visions antagonistes de son avenir : l'une est animée par des revendications modernistes croissantes et l'autre par des orientations traditionnelles hégémoniques.

- 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.
