Description

Saudi Arabia and the American national interest: an interpretive study of a special relationship

Saudi Arabia and the American national interest :This work documents the 60-year-old alliance between Saudi Arabia and the United States, with emphasis on the ideological values that both countries share in addition to shared national interests. It challenges old premises and offers new perspectives on the relationship.

It discusses the Kingdom’s viability and stability. It outlines the negative impact that radical political change there could have on American national security interests and on those of the International Community.

It cautions that efforts of senior American Government officials and their supporters to seek regime change in the Kingdom, together with a hostile American Congress and an unfriendly media, may have already damaged the Special Relationship irrevocably. The failure to achieve a just settlement to the Palestine Conflict, the study concludes, may be the catalyst that destroys the relationship altogether.
