Abstract

Oil is an unusual commodity in that individual decisions can have an outsized effect on the market. OPEC+’s choice to increase production, for instance, might send prices falling, affecting both oil producers and consumers worldwide. What do the leading oil market players consider before making a fateful move?Oil Leaders offers an unprecedented glimpse into the strategic thinking of top figures in the energy world from the 1980s through the recent past. Ibrahim AlMuhanna—a close adviser to four different Saudi oil ministers during that period—examines the role of individual and collective decision making in shaping market movements. He analyzes how powerful individuals made critical choices, tracking how they responded to the flow of information on pivotal market and political events and predicted reactions from allies and adversaries. AlMuhanna highlights how the media has played an increasingly important role as a conduit of information among multiple players in the oil market. Energy leaders have learned to manage the signals they send to the market and to other relevant players in order to avoid sending oil prices into a spiral.AlMuhanna draws on personal familiarity with many of these individual decision makers as well as his participation in decades of closed-door sessions where crucial choices were made. Featuring revelatory behind-the-scenes perspective on pivotal oil market events and dynamics, this book is a must-read for practitioners and policy makers engaged with the global energy world.

Abstract

In recent years, the geopolitical rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran has dominated the headlines. Many have charted the polarisation between a Saudi-led Sunni camp and an Iranian-led Shia one, assuming that a predominantly Shia state like Iraq would automatically ally with Iran. In this compelling account, Katherine Harvey tells a different story: Iraq's current alignment with Iran was not a foregone conclusion. Rather, Saudi efforts to undermine Iran have paradoxically empowered it. Harvey investigates why the Saudis refused to engage with Iraq's post-2003 Shia-led government, despite continual outreach by Iraq's new leaders and considerable pressure from the United States.

Abstract

Voici le second tome de la péninsule Arabique d’aujourd’hui, ouvrage collectif s’adressant au public non spécialiste mais désireux de prendre une connaissance attentive de cette région du monde arabe, placée chaque jour au cœur de l’actualité économique, financière, stratégique, diplomatique et religieuse. Le tome I a tenté une présentation systématique de la péninsule prise dans son ensemble. Le tome II, Études par pays, offre, comme son nom l’indique, vingt-deux études sur les divers États de la péninsule Arabique. Elles sont regroupées en quatre ensembles : l’Arabie du Sud, le sultanat d’Oman, les États du Golfe et l’Arabie Saoudite. La présentation de chaque pays est accompagnée d’une carte et d’une chronologie, pour permettre au lecteur de le situer d’une orientation bibliographique. Nous espérons que ces études suggèreront la diversité géographique, historique, religieuse, économique et culturelle de cette région, une des plus mal connues du monde arabe.

Abstract

The changing political situation in the Middle East poses challenges for the economies of the region, and some see none more vulnerable to collapse than Saudi Arabia's. Yet as this study demonstrates, the fundamentals of the Kingdom's economy are relatively robust, as over three quarters of GDP is accounted for by the non-oil sector, and impressive modern industries have been established, notably in petrochemicals. The financial system functions well, and despite substantial government debts, there is low inflation and currency stability. The private sector increasingly drives the economy, alt
