It does so by considering the dilemmas, challenges and opportunities present in the contemporary Saudi sociopolitical, socioeconomic, and sociocultural spheres, as well as ways and means by which these can be addressed. Underpinning this is a comprehension of the necessity in understanding policies and processes as related to youth policy formulation and implementation. With regards to Saudi youth policy, decision makers want to be able to prioritize the most important issues. As such, policy and decision makers need ‘direction’ in terms of policy formulation, policy recommendations and policy implementation - that is, they are often searching for viable policies that resonate with young Saudis. Furthermore, lessons can be learnt from previous youth policy initiatives by asking: Why was this policy successful? If this policy failed, what were the reasons? Did this policy resonate with young nationals? This edited book unpacks the ways in which comprehending policies and processes are important for youth policy development and implementation in Saudi Arabia. It is relevant to policymakers, as well as scholars in Gulf Studies, and Middle Eastern Studies more broadly, as well as those in youth studies, area studies, and social studies.Gulf Studies,2662-4508 ;16Middle EastPolitics and governmentYouthSocial life and customsSocial policyIdentity politicsEconomic policyMiddle Eastern PoliticsYouth CultureSocial PolicyIdentity PoliticsEconomic PolicyMiddle EastPolitics and government.YouthSocial life and customs.Social policy.Identity politics.Economic policy.Middle Eastern Politics.Youth Culture.Social Policy.Identity Politics.Economic Policy.320.956Thompson Mark C277407Quilliam Neil1740617MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910864181803321Saudi Youth4166393UNINA
