We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Legal and Political Reforms in Saudi Arabia" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
The fractious relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia has long been a central concern in Washington. In the aftermath of 9/11 and amongst ongoing wars, the United States confronts an acute dilemma: how to cooperate with Riyadh against terrorism whilst confronting acute anti-Americanism?Using information gathered from extensive interviews with a plethora of officials, this book aims to analyze Saudi domestic reforms. It addresses the significant deficiency of information on such diverse matters as the judiciary and ongoing national dialogues, but also provides an alternative understanding of what motivates Saudi policy makers. How these reforms may impact on future Saudi decision-making will surely generate a slew of policy concerns for the United States and this study offers a few clarifications and solutions.This book will be of interest to anyone seeking a new perspective on the motivation behind legal and political reforms in Saudi Arabia, and the effects of these reforms beyond the Middle East.

Legal and Political Reforms in
Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia
The fractious relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia has long been a central concern in Washington. In the aftermath of 9/11 and amongst ongoing wars, the United States confronts an acute dilemma: how to cooperate with Riyadh against terrorism whilst confronting anti-Americanism in the kingdom.
Using information gathered from extensive interviews with a plethora of officials, this book aims to analyze Saudi domestic reforms. It addresses the significant deficiency of information on such diverse matters as the judiciary and ongoing national dialogues, and provides alternative understandings of what motivates Saudi policy makers.
How these reforms may impact on future Saudi decision-making will surely generate a slew of policy concerns for the United States and other powers. This study consequently offers several clarifications and solutions and should be of interest to anyone seeking a new perspective on the motivation behind legal and political reforms in Saudi Arabia, and on the effects of these reforms beyond the Middle East.

About the author
Dr. Joseph A. Kchichian is the CEO of Kchichian & Associates, LLC, a consulting partnership that provides analysis on the Arabian/Persian Gulf region, specializing in the domestic and regional concerns of Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. He is also a syndicated columnist based at Gulf News in Dubai since 2003 (with Arabic translations simultaneously published in the Muscat, Oman daily Uman). Between 2006 and 2011, he served as the Honorary Consul of the Sultanate of Oman in Los Angeles, California.
Dr. Kchichian received a doctorate in Foreign Affairs from the University of Virginia in 1985, where he also taught (198688) and assumed the assistant deanship in international studies (198889). In the summer of 1989, he was a Hoover Fellow at Stanford University (under the US State Department Title VIII Program) and, between 1990 and 1996, he was an Associate Political Scientist at the Santa Monica-based RAND Corporation, as well as a lecturer at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA).
Between 1998 and 2001, Kchichian was a fellow at UCLA's Gustav E. von Grunebaum Center for Near Eastern Studies, where he held a Smith Richardson Foundation grant (199899) to write Succession in Saudi Arabia [New York: Palgrave (2001)], which was translated into Arabic as Al-Khilafah fil-Arabiyyah al-Saudiyyah in 2002, and reprinted in a 2nd edition in 2003 [Beirut and London: Dar Al Saqi]. In 20034 he held a Davenport fellowship at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, to produce Power and Succession in Arab Monarchies (also on a Smith Richardson Foundation grant) [Boulder, Colorado: Lynne Rienner Publishers (2008)], which was translated into Arabic as Al-Sultah wa-Taaqub al-Hukm fil-Mamalikah al-Arabiyyah, 2 volumes [Beirut and London: Riad El-Rayyes Books (2012)].
Kchichian published Political Participation and Stability in the Sultanate of Oman [Dubai: Gulf Research Center (2005)], Oman and the World: The Emergence of an Independent Foreign Policy [Santa Monica: RAND (1995)], and edited A Century in Thirty Years: Shaykh Zayed and the United Arab Emirates [Washington, DC: The Middle East Policy Council (2000)], as well as Iran, Iraq, and the Arab Gulf States [New York: Palgrave (2001)]. In 2003, he co-authored (with R. Hrair Dekmejian) The Just Prince: A Manual ofLeadership [London: Saqi Books], which includes a full translation of the Sulwan al-Muta by Muhammad Ibn Zafar al-Siqilli, which appeared in Turkish as Adil Hkmdar (translated by Baris Dogru) [Istanbul: Kirmizi Kedi Yayenevi] in 2009. His most recent contribution was Faysal: Saudi Arabia's King for All Seasons [Gainesville, Florida: University Press of Florida (2008)], which was translated into Arabic as Faysal: Al-Malik wal-Dawlah [Beirut: Dar al-Arabiyyah lil-Mawsuat (2012)].
The author of over a dozen book chapters, close to fifty peer-reviewed academic essays, and over 300 book reviews, Kchichian's latest study is Qaboos: A Ruler who Revived the Sultanate Of Oman [forthcoming].
Acknowledgements
The first decade of the 20th century was difficult for young Saudis who, more often than not, were better plugged into the rest of the world than most of their global counterparts. Savvy travelers who frequently vacationed with their families in Europe or Asia, most were bombarded with negative interpretations of their country. An undeniable generational gap between the vast majority of the population and the kingdom's leadership allegedly prevented the latter from recognizing socio-economic needs that, presumably, preoccupied scores of young men and women eager to make whatever contributions they could to their societies. Expert opinion concluded that most were not allowed to contemplate such contributions, much less implement them.
The idea for this book must be attributed to a young Jiddah university student who challenged me to observe and analyze the many reform programs under way in her country and, in her inimical words, see for yourself whether King Abdallah bin Abdul Aziz is a reformer or not. To be sure, the octogenarian monarch was in a hurry to introduce as many changes as possible, which was uncharacteristic of Arabian Peninsula rulers. After 2005, a series of announcements were made at a dizzying pace, often to address sensitive questions that were either raised by Saudis anxious to see genuine reforms or were the result of spillover effects of epochal proportions elsewhere in the Arab and Muslim worlds. In response, the king tackled taboo topics, including legal matters, a subject heretofore reserved for esoteric studies that delved into religious texts far more than political ones.
