and CooperationEdited by NEIL PARTRICKUPDATED EDITION  \nDigitized by the Internet Archivein 2023 with funding fromKahle/Austin Foundation  \nNeil Partrick writes and consults extensively on the Gulf and widerMiddle East for a wide range of companies including the EconomistGroup and Oxford Analytica,and has been a senior editor at theEconomist Intelligence Unit.The London School of Economics andPolitical Science(LSE)has published papers by him on the GulfCooperation Council,nationalism in the Gulf,and Saudi-Jordanianrelations.He has taught at the University of Westminster,the Universityof Middlesex and the American University of Sharjah and was Head of theMiddle East and North Africa Department at the Royal United ServicesInstitute(RUSI).He holds a PhD in International Relations from theLondon School of Economics and Political Science.  \n'Neil Partrick has edited and written most of a very welcome addition to theliterature on Saudi Arabia-a country whose oil and geopolitical assets andcontroversial export of its brand of reformist Islam will keep it in the policylimelight for decades to come.There is currently no comprehensive study in Englishof the Kingdom's contemporary foreign relations,indeed very little available at all.Where else could you get an incisive assessment of the state of Saudi relations withall of its Middle Eastern neighbours,much of it country by country,at the sametime as a dissection of Saudi relations in south and east Asia,north and east Africa,Russia,Israel and Palestine,Europe and the USA?Drawing on academic and mediasources as well as interviews with Saudi policy makers and other diplomats,the bookis also enhanced by a thematic focus on the domestic,Islamic and energy contextwithin which foreign relations are managed.Both informative and stimulating,thebook is impressive for its scope and attention to detail.It is timely because theKingdom currently faces extraordinary challenges such as the entrenchment of theself-styled Islamic State(IS)at its northern border and an unfolding civil war acrossits southern border-arguably the worst threats since its formative years in the earlytwentieth century.The book is comprehensive,and written to provide a muchneeded overview of Saudi foreign policy for scholars and policy makers,while alsobeing accessible to the wider public.'  \n-Gabriele vom Bruck,Senior Lecturer in the Anthropologyof the Middle East,SOAS,University of London  \nSaudi Arabia's foreign policy is often viewed as impenetrable,but this useful volumeexplains all in terms accessible to the regional specialist and non-specialist alike.Itcombines a clear explanation of how domestic political,historical,economic,andreligious factors shape the Kingdom's foreign policy with a tour-de-force review ofallSaudi Arabia's major bilateral relationships.Especially important at a time when Saudiforeign policy has become not only vigorous but muscular,this volume is terrific as areference and also a good read.'  \n-Michele Dunne,Director and Senior Associate,Middle East Programme,Carnegie Endowmentfor International Peace  \n‘With Saudi Arabia exerting its military muscle in both Yemen and in the struggleagainst Daish this is a timely book to help us understand the history and motivationof the major Sunni regional power.Saudi Arabia remains an opaque country not inclinedto explain its motivations in foreign policy either to an external or internalaudience.This collection of articles covers the whole gamut of Saudi Arabia's main externalrelationships including the role played by Islam and oil in shaping its foreign policy.'  \n-Sir William Patey,UK Ambassador to Saudi Arabia 2007-10  \nSAUDI ARABIANFOREIGN POLICY  \nConflict and Cooperation  \nEdited by NEIL PARTRICK  \nNew
