Sommario/riassunto

Will Saudi Arabia join the democratic wave in the Middle East? The uprisings and revolutions of 2011 do not, yet, seem to have affected the stability of the House of Saud, which remains secretive, highly repressive and propped up by the West. This book examines Saudi Arabia in the decade after the 9/11 attacks.
