The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a sacred pillar of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, has played an ambiguous role in the conflicts unleashed by the Arab Spring, most notably in Bahrain, Yemen, Syria, and in the rise of ISIS. Saudi Arabia's global role is rooted in the unique juxtaposition of ultra authoritarian rule, oil wealth, and exceptionialism of being home to Makkah.
Sharat G. Lin, PhD writes on global political economy, the Middle East, and labor migration. He is a research fellow at the San José Peace and Justice Center. He has lived in Saudi Arabia. Open to the public FREE – but donations will be collected for NPML Wheelchair accessible Sponsored by the Institute for the Critical Study of Society
