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

Abstract

"In the wake of September 11th instant theories have emerged that try to root Osama Bin Laden's attacks on Wahhabism. Muslim critics have dismissed this conservative interpretation of Islam that is the official creed of Saudi Arabia as an unorthodox innovation that manipulated a suggestible people to gain political influence. David Commins' book questions this assumption. He examines the debate on the nature of Wahhabism, and offers original findings on its ascendance in Saudi Arabia and spread throughout other parts of the Muslim world such as Afghanistan and Pakistan. He also assesses the challenge that radical militants within Saudi Arabia pose to the region, and draws conclusions which will concern all those who follow events in the Kingdom. The Wahhabi Mission and Saudi Arabia is essential reading for anyone interested in the Middle East and Islamic radicalism today."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Abstract

Although the position of Saudi women within society draws media attention throughout the world, young Saudi men remain part of a silent mass, their thoughts and views rarely heard outside of the Kingdom. Based on primary research across Saudi Arabia with young men from a diverse range of backgrounds, Mark C. Thompson allows for this distinct group of voices to be heard, revealing their opinions and attitudes towards the societal and economic transformations affecting their lives within a gender-segregated society and examining the challenges and dilemmas facing young Saudi men in the twenty-first century. From ideas and beliefs about, identity, education, employment, marriage prospects and gender segregation, as well as political participation and exclusion, this study in turn invites us to reconsider the future of Saudi Arabia as a globalized kingdom.
