Reviews
Mark Thompson and Neil Quilliam have put together a masterful volume focused on some of the largest and most relevant issues facing Saudi Arabia today. Ranging from coverage of the Kingdom's efforts at economic reform to defense capacity, educational reform, and climate change, this timely collection features a number of studies important for students and policymakers alike, as Saudi Arabia emerges under Mohammed bin Salman as a distinct actor on the international and regional scene. * Courtney Freer, London School of Economics, UK *
